SUMMARY:How to Start a Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:How to Start a Nonprofit \nAre you launching a nonprofit organization? Starting a nonprofit can be a rewarding endeavor\, but it requires careful planning and understanding of the unique challenges involved. Here are some important considerations to keep in mind: \nFeasibility Study \nHave you conducted a feasibility study? A feasibility study is essential to assess the viability of your nonprofit idea. It helps you understand the need for your organization\, identify potential challenges\, and evaluate the resources required to succeed. This process typically includes: \n\n\nMarket analysis to identify target demographics and community needs. \n\n\nFunding sources and potential revenue streams. \n\n\nAssessment of similar organizations and their impact. \n\n\nNonprofit vs. For-Profit Management \nAre you aware of the differences between managing a nonprofit and a for-profit business? Nonprofits operate under different regulations and expectations. Key distinctions include: \n\n\nMission Focus: Nonprofits prioritize their mission over profit generation. \n\n\nFunding Sources: Nonprofits often rely on donations\, grants\, and fundraising\, whereas for-profits focus on sales and revenue. \n\n\nTax Status: Nonprofits can apply for tax-exempt status\, which impacts how they handle finances and donations. \n\n\nAssistance with Form 1023 \n\n\nDo you require assistance with your Form 1023? This form is crucial for obtaining federal tax-exempt status from the IRS. Completing it accurately is vital\, as errors can delay your application. Our experts can guide you through: \n\n\nUnderstanding the requirements for Form 1023. \n\n\nGathering necessary documentation. \n\n\nCompleting the form correctly to ensure a smooth approval process. \n\n\nReserve your spot at our Nonprofit Start-up Webinar every Tuesday.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Maurice Mitchell's "Building Resilient Organizations"
DESCRIPTION:Maurice Mitchell’s seminal article “Building Resilient Organizations“—co-published in 2022 by NPQ\, The Forge\, and Convergence—held up a mirror to the challenging internal management and culture of progressive organizations and offered pointed guidance about what people working at these organizations could do to shift toward resilience and joy. It has been read and referenced by thousands of leaders\, consultants\, and funders in the three-plus years since. \nIn this Learn Out Loud session\, NPQ welcomes Maurice Mitchell and a panel of experts to revisit the central themes of the piece\, including anti-leadership attitudes; anti-institution sentiment; and unanchored care whereby people assume that one’s mental\, physical\, and spiritual health are the responsibility of the organization or collective space. \nThe panelists will address these questions: \n\nWhere have we seen progress in how our organizations function internally?\nWhat challenging organizational dynamics have proven more difficult to disrupt?\nHow has the deepening threat of fascism impacted the inner workings of our organizations?\nWhich tools and practices are contributing to greater organizational resilience in today’s hyperchallenging operating context?\nHow can philanthropy best support organizational resilience in our shared fight for a multiracial democracy?\n\nPanelists: \nMaurice Mitchell\, National Director\, Working Families Party\nAllison Conyers\, Executive Director\, EpicWorks\nMistinguette Smith\, Principal Consultant\, M Smith Consulting LLC\nRebecca Epstein\, Principal Consultant\, R. Epstein Consulting\nModerated by Jeanne Bell\, Program Host\, Leading Edge (NPQ)

SUMMARY:Ethics and Decision Making When Leading Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all been there – you’re in a difficult situation with a volunteer and you don’t know what to do. Sometimes it’s just a situation where you can’t make everyone happy\, but sometimes you’re in an ethical dilemma – torn between two or more of the core values for leading and managing volunteers. How do you know if you’re in an ethical dilemma\, and what should you do to ensure that you make the right decision? Join Faiza Venzant\, CVA\, Executive Director for the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration and Jennifer Bennett\, CVA to learn about those core values and how to incorporate ethical decision making into your work. This highly interactive session will help you think through a real ethical dilemma faced by a leader of volunteers\, and practice the steps needed to implement this practice in your own work.
