New nonprofits face a number of significant challenges if they are to survive and, more importantly, have a significant impact on their communities. So, if you are thinking of starting a nonprofit, or are facing challenges in running your young nonprofit, attend this free workshop and learn:
- How to create a nonprofit organization

- How to establish good financial policies and controls
- How to fund your nonprofit
The world is in the midst of what one observer has called an "associational revolution". Nowadays, nonprofit organizations are the real agents of change. Without nonprofits, there would be far less research done on life-threatening diseases, fewer meals given to those who can’t afford them, and a sicker, less beautiful world to live in. Nonprofits provide for their communities in ways that the business sector and government can’t.
