Did you know that, though the statistics are murky, the failure rate of nonprofits is greater than that of for-profit businesses?
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 Board Governance
- 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. Now a days, 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.
