THE NONPROFIT WORKBOOK
So you want to start a nonprofit? Or maybe you think you want to launch some kind of social enterprise but are not quite sure which entity would work best. If this idea has crossed your mind or even if you are obsessed with the idea, CONGRATULATIONS! Starting any type of business is not for the faint of heart. Being intentional to benefit the greater common good is noble. Starting such an effort takes courage, effort, time, and money to undergo such a mammoth task. Using this workbook, you will learn tips that separate the “successful” nonprofits from those that just cannot seem to arrive at a place of sustainability, much less get out of the start-up phase.

The Nonprofit Workbook
Make this the year YOU start your nonprofit or other social enterprise for the greater common good.
Many books have been written about how to start a nonprofit or other type of social enterprise, so what makes this one special? Well, maybe you’re starting a business for the first time, or maybe you have had your own business, but it had nothing to do with the social sector. You need tips, insights, and best practices from someone with experience in the social sector – you need a coach. You want to be sure that you don’t waste a lot of time, and even worse come away disappointed and disillusioned. You need practical advice to set you up for success.
Using this workbook, you'll learn specific tasks you must do to ensure your start-up begins strong and gains momentum steadily, and reaches a place of sustainability as quickly as possible. You'll be shown the important things that must be done correctly, and what to avoid that will just slow you down. Here are just some things you will discover:
How to access capital and how to be sure to pick the right funding model
The truth about grants for start-up nonprofit organizations
An overview of business models available for a social enterprise
Important considerations when using volunteers
Understanding the role of a board of directors and other governance structures

As you work through 27 thought-provoking exercises along with gaining first-rate implementation strategies, you'll quickly learn what you need to know to start off strong and reach a place of sustainability without floundering or frustration. Along the way, you'll learn to form collaborative partnerships and how to get the community you serve to value the services you provide. Starting a business entity that serves the greater common good whether that is a 501C, B-Corp, or not-for-profit entity is the ride of your life; get it right the first time!
