Nonprofit Essentials 101: What to Do in Your First 12 Months!

Starting a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization is a major decision that requires significant forethought before and after you receive IRS tax exemption. As a nonprofit founder and or new board member, you will likely have questions that you already know to ask or seek answers for, and there will be questions that you don’t even know to ask! That is exactly why this training course was developed; to help you find your way during your first 12 months of becoming a nonprofit founder or board member.

What you’ll learn:

• How to prepare for your first board meeting and what key activities happen in your first meeting
• The difference between the 3 IRS 990 information returns
• Whether Charitable Solicitation Laws apply to you
• Which insurance policies are available for nonprofit organizations
• Which planning documents will be most useful to you in your first year
• Where to find immediate resources to increase your nonprofit leadership capacity
• How to locate immediate resources for funding a newly formed nonprofit

This presentation is included in a four-part series designed to help new and established nonprofits succeed. The full series provides a complete introduction to nonprofit ownership, however each is designed as a stand-alone webinar.
