With all the needs currently experienced by so many humans in the world, the desire to help people is stronger than ever. While assisting our neighbors and friends is a most admirable desire, and while starting a Nonprofit to help turn your cause and your passion into a powerful force is a very gratifying endeavor, here are 5 things to consider when you get started:
- Nonprofits are not owned by anyone
You can be removed from your nonprofit by a board that votes you out. - Nonprofit does not mean No Salary
You can absolutely run a nonprofit and get paid a salary - Starting a Nonprofit properly and in full compliance is not inexpensive
Keeping your nonprofit in compliance and grant ready takes time and consistence - Running a Nonprofit is extremely time consuming
Many nonprofits fail because maintaining compliance falls through the cracks - People don’t donate simply because you run a Nonprofit
People donate to a nonprofit that has a program they believe in and want to support
