How to Start, Run & Grow a Successful Nonprofit Organization: DIY Startup Guide to 501 C(3) Nonprofit Charitable Organization for All 50 States & DC

This is one of the most comprehensive guides you will find on how to start, run and grow a 501© nonprofit organization. I worked 23 years as a consultant for many small to medium size nonprofit organizations. My primary job was to show them the actual step-by-step process on how to open such charitable organizations properly and legally.

Many nonprofit organizations run into various legal and tax problems if and when they don’t take the right steps when opening and filling their paperwork with their state and Federal government. It is not rocket science, but there are few minor details that you have to know and follow to avoid significant setbacks and issues in the future.

In this guide, I cover the basics of starting a nonprofit organization (NPO). I show you a detailed step-by-step process of fulfilling each and every requirement by your state and the federal government. I also added provisions for all 50 US states and for the District of Columbia.

Please look through the table of contents before hitting the “Buy” Button to make sure I covered the information you are looking for.

At a glance, this is what I covered in this guide:

• What is a nonprofit
• Types of nonprofit entities
• Why you should start a nonprofit
• For-profit vs. nonprofit
• Advantages & disadvantages of starting a nonprofit
• The startup checklist
• Establishing the bylaws
• How to develop a conflict of interest policy
• Filing articles of incorporation
• Legal requirements
• How to actually become tax exempt
• Building the staff
• Nonprofit governance
• Officers/board of directors
• CEO & executive directors
• Staff and volunteers
• Classifying employees
• How to recruit volunteers
• How to pay your employees
• Fundraising basics
• Fundraising compliance
• Online fundraising
• Registration requirements, applications, exemptions, and renewal
• Professional fundraising
• Co-venture and cause Marketing
• Charitable gaming licensing and permits

Very informative

This book is affordable and has all the basic information you need. I have been dreaming of starting my own non profit for animal rescue for years and years and I am finally taking the first steps. This book outlines everything from start and even discuses common fundraising practices

Outstanding

I loved the informative arranging of the information and the easy to understand composition. Wonderfully written and read!

Fantastic

Great listen. Helped me to rethink and redirect my goals pertaining to my non profit organization. Thank you.

Excellent, but can't find the guide

Really enjoyed listening, but cannot find the pdf file that is stated as included. Very helpful information.

From good to great.

Good and hopeful compare to others which discorage you to go for a NFPO it needs More details in some parts for a do it your self. The book at least encorege me to Keep going others scare you and tells you to get the ir courses or consultation. It can get better to Be great. The part which no one helps is in the needed nearly perfecto articles of incorporation and the needed perfecto bylaws. Can some one explain better and what exactly have to be there and what not. For DIYselfers.

State by state requirements For Audio

I loved this book, it’s was extremely informative! I learned more in 1 hour of listening about starting a Non Profit than I have throughout my business degree program! The only thing I didn’t like fir audio book listening was the fact that all the different state requirements were lumped together in one chapter at the end and I would have to listen to them all before locating my state. I suggest 1 chapter per state for audio. Otherwise awesomely done.

Sooooo Glad I Listened Before Diving Into A 501-C

I am so glad that I was able to listen to this informative book. It gave me the exact information I was needing. I know now that the Non-Profit is not the way to go! Thank for the knowledgeable breakdown on starting a 501-C!!

Detailed Information

Great job and thank you for sharing form your experience, knowledge and in-depth research. My only suggestion and recommendation is if it’s possible to please include a accompanying pdf guide to the audible version so it’s easy to find the info for each state on registration.

Thorough, clear and concise

This book was thorough, clear and concise. This book was well written for all levels of comprehension. The information provided eased my anxiety and gave me confidence to proceed. Well done.

Thank You

This was very helpful and I'll be keeping it in my library to reference regularly. God bless you too and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all!
