Available as hard copy or PDF, this step-by-step handbook will be your guide and a partner in your journey to fulfilling your goals as a nonprofit organizer. Many nonprofits start out without taking the time needed to lay a proper foundation for organizational success.

This comprehensive handbook includes: basic requirements for and overview of nonprofits; step-by-step details for building, planning, and launching your organization; how to create a team and a mission; a run-down of the incorporation process and tax exemption issues, including special notes on the details of the forms you need to file; bringing financial life to your nonprofit—understanding the process of obtaining start up funds; sample bylaws and grant application formats, with explanations; getting up and running with financial management and human resources; ideas for strategic plans and fundraising development; and more! You can purchase this latest edition in either a digital .pdf file or have a hard copy mailed to you.
