Choosing the Right Strategy to Set Up Your Nonprofit

The programs that your nonprofit offers will be the why the organization exists. You will need to determine how you will deliver the programming and if you will have paid staff or volunteers. A well-designed plan for how to carry out the programs will ensure the success of serving your constituents and obtaining funding. The software needed to operate your nonprofit and what should be on the website will be discussed.

Specifically, you’ll get essential information on:
• Donor database overview
• Program and event synopsis
• Ideas for website analysis
