  • Starting a nonprofit organization and wondering how to create an effective program that will make a big impact? #Nonprofits #Nonprofit #StartingANonprofit
    I am a nonprofit founder who now works full time as the Executive Director for the nonprofit I started many years ago. Designing and launching a program to carry out your nonprofit's mission is a CRITICAL aspect of running an organization. If your program is not designed thoughtfully, you may not make the impact you hope to! In this video I talk through 6 questions you need to ask yourself in order to think through creating an effective nonprofit program.
    If you are starting a nonprofit, thinking about it, or have just started a nonprofit, or KNOW someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!

  • @nonprofitfundraisingmanage5816

    We’re actually helping a nonprofit design a new fundraising program-an employee giving program-and it’s the exact same as you’ve illustrated here. In other words, we take the “resources needed” and break it down like a mini program.
    Great information!

      Hey there! :) You need a board of directors with unrelated people - the IRS will consider it a red flag if a board has only 1 member or members that are related by family or business.

    • @AmberMelanieSmith
      @AmberMelanieSmith  Před rokem +1

      Hey there! I would recommend you google city grants for nonprofits in your city - many cities have them! Then you can look at their grant applications and determine what questions you need to answer.

    I was searching the web for answers on how to start a program similar to AA but not for alcoholism. I don’t know where to begin. I am just one person with one idea to benefit the mental health of police officers. Is there any way to run my idea by you and maybe you could guide me in the right direction??

    • @AmberMelanieSmith
      @AmberMelanieSmith  Před 2 lety

      Hey Layla, no worries at all, thanks for your feedback! I tried my best to price the training reasonably based on the hours and investment placed into it and compared to other trainings out there. I hope these videos here on CZcams are helpful, and there's also a grant giveaway from RallyUp I'm doing where applicants will have a chance to get a free registration in my fundraising course.
