9 Steps to Starting Your Own Nonprofit

If you are passionate about improving your community and want to make a difference in the world, then forming a nonprofit corporation could be the right choice for you. Learn the 9 steps you need to know to get you on the right track to nonprofit success.

 


"The first and best advice SCORE gave us was to create a business plan. We found that having developed our business plan made the [nonprofit] application process much easier. Nearly all of the information required for the applications was contained in our business plan. We incorporated in March of 2009 and became a registered 501c3 in September of 2009. We are certain that without the assistance and counseling we received from SCORE, Project Being There would have taken much longer to officially form."

 

Grow your business with guidance from a SCORE mentor.
