Are you considering starting a nonprofit, but don’t know where to begin? If only there was a “Shark Tank” for nonprofits similar to the popular television show where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to potential investors. Then you could get funding and launch your idea to change the world.

In this virtual presentation you’ll learn what you need to know to take the next step towards either forming a nonprofit or not.

Specifically, you will get information on:

  • Kinds of groups that can and can’t form a nonprofit
  • The benefits and disadvantages to a 501(c)(3)
  • How to obtain funding to get started
  • Next steps for setting up the nonprofit
