Short version, even a philanthropist/humanitarian needs food, clothing, water and shelter. And to be compensated for the value they add to the community and the world.
I don't understand how people can be so ignorant in thinking that non-profit founders shouldn't make money. If the people who run charitable organizations are spending all of their time doing that, what time is left to earn a living? You have to be able to live in order to run a business, even a charitable one. Can't do that if you starve to death. Duh.
I feel like the salary aspect, is also a self worth thing. I come from a low income area, and my goal is to provide millenials in the local area with the skills and resources to produce food for their families, and gain independence, and to improve the local economy by keeping people working and spending in the province. Low wages really effect your morale and self esteem, and thus quality of work. I'm so glad I found your channel. You are so clear and informative!
I absolutely 100% agree with you! Self worth is a huge component of the salary thing! As long as you are reasonable in your ask and doing the work to bring in the funds while still making your program work o believe you are well within your right to be paid. As the results and program grow, so will your income.
I'm so happy to hear that it inspired you and assured your confidence! You can do this! In the meantime, come join us in the tribe! Grab your free invitation at ashleetate.com/jointhetribe
Tons staff , board members, coaches, medial board make millions. Nation football league commissioner, hospitals, universities are mostly all non profit..Biggest thing is Non profit can't be sold, it can't be liquidated in a well,,, In other words in continues on for the cause, or it dyes off. .... Duke University is non profit.. budget of well over 2 BILLION.. Head coach made 9 MILLION which 7 MILLION was his duke salary... My daughter started a non profit when she was 16. and it so non profit that we have invested 10 thousand or more plus we each put at least 20 hours a week, now she is 18 and its catching ground and currently in official 501 mode, I feel as long as at least 50% is going back to the cause thats perfectly acceptable and on a 40-60 work PLUS weekwork at 18 she could draw 50K, but only after the bench mark of 50% has been made and 80K for myself.. I'm hoping we can get there in 3 years. But i still work a 60hr plus week at my own business sine 1992. You can expect someone to work a 60 hour week and not get at least 75% of whats market value. Does anybody reading this give 25% of their paycheck to charitable cause? PEACE
Thanks for the work you do on this channel I really needed some guidance and it's a double plus since your a sister anyways you have a new follower. God bless
I have selected a "A Welfare Association" as my business plan model (assignment of digital marketing subject), I was so confused that how should it can be productive wrt business. This GOLD video answered all my questions, it was worth watching whole (17:12) minutes was a must watch. Thank you so much Miss Ashley, stay bless❤
Ohhh that means so much to me!!! Thank you for taking the time to share that with me AND for watching!!!! Sometimes I think my videos are too long but I’m really trying to get the point across! So appreciate the comment!
@@Ashlee_Tate You are welcome miss, it was lengthy but everything was on point, you spoke so fluently you have really mastered in your profession, may you prosper more & more... thanks again, love all the way from Karachi, Pakistan :)
I just subbed to your channel! I’m trying to start a nonprofit, I could not run a business without a charitable social impact... I’m so excited and will be doing some research on your channel THANK YOU
This has been the best explanation of how to work for my nonprofit. It's helped me also decide to not continue with a consultant who after 5 years has NEVER explained this to me. I always felt ashamed to ask how I set my budget to include something for myself because this will eventually be my full time work and the conversation would go cold. I thought it was taboo to think I should get paid from a nonprofit. THANK YOU SO MUCH DARLIN'!!! I hit the subscribe button to learn more :)
Well I’m super proud of you for knowing your worth! Definitely not taboo and necessary to build strong organizations with good leaders! Don’t forget to join us in the tribe! Grab your invite at Ashleetate.com
You can make an income as a nonprofit if you want to be a beggar for a living... Nonprofits don't actually DO any work...they make phone calls and in my experience they virtually shame and guilt people into giving to their cause. Then, in some cases, the so called "recipients" only receive about 1/3 of the "donations". The rest is used to pay the "CEO" a most handsome salary...(the GoodWill Industries CEO gets upwards of a million a year....not sure what she does for that kind of money). Then there's all the administrative fees, office supplies, postage for all those flyers you get in the mail...a janitor? maybe; to clean the offices which are pretty lush and "inviting" to "show off" for potential donors?? .... Then there's the helpers wages & travel costs to get to those foreign places that the NP is supposed to be helping; plus food and lodging for the staff. Sure...YOU CAN MAKE LIVING WITH A NONPROFIT AGENCY...but do the people you are trying to help receive enough help to not need you anymore??? Isn't that the true goal for those who assist the less fortunate???...getting people OFF CHARITY AND WELFARE??? And isn't that the bummer??? You're supposed to help people stand on their own...but to stay in "business" you have to keep people in poverty....what a scam!!! We all need to simply help those we want to help and stop trying to make money in "NON-PROFIT"...the name itself says it all. YOU don't PROFIT from a NON-Profit....simple linguistics.
I am an entrepreneur with a purpose. I want to help mothers or fathers that find themselves homeless. I would love to provide shelter, counseling, training to assist with getting the family on their feet with low income housing.
👑 Thank you for your help to understand on a deeper level for me how a nonprofit should run. 4 years later you are still helping viewers like Me. Let your life, family life and business entities Stay Safe, Healthy And Bless 😇 🙏
I am a full- time student and volunteer more than 40 hours a week. I want to start a non-profit because I really enjoy helping people but I'm not able to pay my own bills and expenses by volunteering all the time. A lot of people come to me for help (help with applying for healthcare, social security, etc. immigration services, notary, translation, etc.) and I never say no. I do not charge. I have a lot of resources. How do I get compensated so I can continue to do this without charging a fee?
I would try to make this a nonprofit or move under a fiscal sponsor and begin looking for funding. Come join us in the tribe with other people just like you! Just go to ashleetate.com to grab your invitation
The other way a nonprofit is different than a forprofit is that the profits don't go to anyone person, they all go back into the nonprofit programing so that the profits go directly to the cause you are serving. That is the key to a nonprofit, without that, it is just a regular forprofit business.
This was REALLY good and you say ranting I say passionate communication, I’d be the one feeling bad although I know I need a salary as a single mom AT least by my third year of having my nonprofit. A lot of this is soooo intimidating but one of my friends with an accounting background recently told me about someone that we both know at a school my daughter goes to has a nonprofit, I think talking to people like that will help my process get easier because I’m literally at the point of just saying forget it, it’s to much work. To have that thought is disheartening because I KNOW I’ve been enlightened to do start a youth center😏
Remember that this is all a journey! If you need to make an income work on that piece first and do this as a side hustle, hobby and as it grows then make it full time. Get your status and work on it slowly over time. It’s okay to go slow and start small!
@DeeDvaHayes we must be on the same page of interest. Wish you where in Sacramento, and I would find you and say girl let's do this! AnyHoo.. @TheSocialifeDiaries thank you for reassuring my thoughts on how in the hell am I supposed to pay rent, gas and get to help my community. Well on the honest tip, I took off from working at the hospital to evaluate myself and help my teens transition to middle and high school with one AUTISTIC. I wanted to merge my healthcare background assisting youth, being a parent resource for parents and. students. But had to rely on county assistance to pay rent. And use my healthcare background to help my neighbors in my complex, like groceries, picking up their kids, taking people to Dr appt. Where they paid me gas and I added the time and the travel costs up, where now irs listed my as self employment last year, because I wrote all that off. this year I wanted to start my own youth center, but something told me no engage more and networking more. So I did. I joined the PTA for my kids school, started a girl's group, mommies group, threw an event and the outcome was incredible of over 120+ attended. And I joined the school district board funding committee that oversees how all the schools within the district spend their funds on priority needs. Also became parent liasion at my kids school due to the other person quitting I ran to the principal and asked if I can have position, now I'm waiting for my 1st check. not much hours but at least it's something. I meet so many people from community engagement conferences from school staff, to superentindent to state capital employees, to state educational law employees just in the past 8 months. Now I am invited to the Reno 3day conference this July, gas, hotel, food paid by school district and I can take my family. So the best advice is to research network first. before you just jump into starting business. so many business struggle to keep running, and I don't want to fall in that category.. I want to start something else creative this week for my bday while kids are on spring break but I need to do a whole new social media accounts not base off my side hobby of digital music art. if you have any ideas DM Instagram @beauteymafia or twitter
I read that if you are a board member, you can not pay yourself. Also, if you are receiving Grants, you must peruse the grant usage guidelines carefully because some grants specific what the funds can be used for, and some specific that none of the grant funds can not be used for salary. ( A friend used some grant proceeds in an area other than what the grant specified and was fined and had to pay the grant back. I don't thinks she ever did however, she eventually shut down). I had a nonprofit for about five years, and shut it down because I wasn't making enough money to pay myself, or run the program.
I’m sorry to hear about you and your friend’s nonprofits having to shut down. Whether for profit or nonprofit, many businesses find it hard to stay open past the five year mark. In regard to the board member aspect-you can get paid as a board member BUT you cannot vote for your salary. You would have to recuse yourself from the meeting and allow all the others to vote. It is true that grants must be used as the guidelines state. When applying it is always best to be upfront about how it will be used.
Some nonprofits have administrative costs and payroll and others like mine don't, we put 100% into the program and nothing goes to the administrative costs. Our board pays for their own lunches and gas, our volunteers that spend money out of pocket are not reimbursed, kinda not nice, but we are all volunteers that would rather give out more burritos and bottled water to the poor, than take that food away to pay for gas... When you first start up a nonprofit, you need to consider how you want to spend the money you collect, if you want to run a transitional housing home, you can easily make a profit after costs, if you are feeding the poor, you will go broke! We started feeding 100 people per day, now we feed 350 each day and with more money coming in we will expand to another program, giving MUST be your hobby! If you are doing this to get rich, your nuts! We also have a transitional housing program, where we charge $10 per night and require everyone to work at a job! We also provide jobs and teach floor covering installation and interior/exterior house painting. We pay our clients $10-15 per hour, I am a licensed general contractor, so it is a win, win, they learn a trade and get paid a fair wage, and I can do larger jobs! We are always looking for more types of jobs to send our clients to. We also offer "fiscal sponsorship" if you would like to operate a transitional program yourself, we do not charge any fees and you can use the sponsorship to apply for grants and all of the benefits of a 501c3. If you want to contact me, to prove we are legit and give you more info about us, you can look me up at Guidestar.org search: The Studio of Hope Corporation
Giving as a hobby! I love it! Looks like your doing great and thanks for offering the fiscal sponsorship via guidestar! Love your mission so keep it up!
Thank you so much for the great input! I am working on a project that am sure will be beneficial to many, since I've been there and know it, and I was wondering how I would be able to raise funds and eventually get paid, and your video really helped! Thank you!
Oh I have signed up already and shared your page with a few people!! I'm trying to watch ALL of your videos but focusing on the one's that deal the information about the board members and the initial set up first.
I didn't know so many people decided not to have a salary but run a non profit business..this is surprising..because I have juggled the idea of starting a non profit.. but i always thought once everything was set up... we all would have salaries ...except the volunteers...
That makes me so happy! I’d love to have you join us! Sign up at Ashleetate.com to get an invitation to the tribe! We’d love to have you! Thanks again so much for watching!
Great video! I have a question. Do we have to specify that percentage we’re taking out into the bylaw? All non profit bylaw I’ve seen have “no compensation to board members.” Im in the process of starting my nonprofit organization and will like to know for future reference.
Maya, it’s true you will need to make a living while you build any business but most of who started nonprofits started on the side until we have the means to JUST do the nonprofit business. Keep moving forward on your dream while you make a living for yourself! Also come join us in the tribe if you haven’t already! Grab your invitation at AshleeTate.com!
That is the biggest misconception about nonprofits. I was a financial analyst at a nonprofit of around 300 employees. The best way to know if a nonprofit is doing well or to compare for research purposes is to look at their 990. It can show the salary of the CEO, CFO, and other VPs as well as what they spent. You'll do great! Planning is a salient aspect and very important! Good luck with your future endeavors!
@@Ashlee_Tate no worries! You have a new subscriber! Going to check out another video while I get work done now. I use the double screen to my advantage, lol. You're at work with me currently. Work being random nothings on one screen and you dropping Gems on the other. Thanks again. 🙌🏼✌🏼❤
Great video! Would of been able to finish if it was a little more written out and planned; so it could of flowed smoother. Even just bullet points, especially for your examples, would have helped. Thanks for the great information!! 👏🏽
So sorry about that! I was just starting out and my videos weren’t very clear! I so appreciate the feedback and thankful for you watching any of it! Lol! I’ve gotten better, I hope!🤞
There is a lot to be said about what’s going on in the community with black lives matter but to change anything we must also change .I plan on starting a nonprofit called “Train the 9” were we will invest in helping those out of poverty struck areas pay for the 120$ police test and pass physical test required here in Washington. I believe there must be more diversity in our communities law enforcement. If anyone has any helpful info we are all ears and always open to new great minds to support.
Very informative. I am ready to start my non-profit. I would really appreciate your help. I've gone to the website to join the tribe. Now I'm about to watch "Start Your Non-profit in 30 Days". I can't wait to hear from you!
Sherry, this is fantastic! My course will help you get it all done as if we’re doing it together! You can check it out at unleash your purpose.thinkific.com! Thank you so much for watching!
My opinion? The value of help/management should be reflective? Example, as a director/founder, not making allowances for compensation such a terrible precedent, valuing founder's hard sweat and sacrifice @ nothing/worthless. How does the organization ever transition to a professional administration, or transition @ all? Founders set a floor of self worth. Not saying the initial compensation can't be deferred, but @ least the precedent for compensation is established...
What if you bought all the equipment yourself before starting a nonprofit? Can your sale your equipment to the nonprofit? Also if you found a building for rent, do I use my own money to start the business image and activity? Do I get my own money back out of the donations?
Let’s do it! Grab your invite to the tribe to join over 400 others trying to make an impact! Go to Ashleetate.com and get your invite there! See you soon!
I was thinking about what I can do for kids, my wife is a teacher. I was thinking we would have a lot to offer kids. But I would be taking ten steps back and my house I own would be to small. I was thinking then maybe I could do a non profit foster care and possibly start a small ranch and donate the organic beef to the local shelter and maybe do a food stand for the homeless. I just don’t know where to start or how to. Anyone a pro out there ????
Thank YOU for watching!! If you’d like to join a tribe of others on a mission to make an impact grab your invitation at Ashleetate.com! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Love your stuff. I've watched dozens of videos and yours was very informative. Compared to other channels that are all bout non profits. Would love to chat with you privately either on the phone or email.
I do charge a $75 fee for 1-1 calls but have a course that walks you through the entire process for $50 from start to finish. You can connect with me in the tribe by grabbing your invite at ashleetate.com
Awesome video! Thank you. I am curious about something: If I’m able to pay myself and staff what we are worth, then what differences are there in terms of salary, compared to a for profit?
10:00 lets say the founder is bringing in 10 mil annually form direct fundrasiung for the non profit, does the founder deserve 1 mill? I say yes, you? Also where are the lagilites here on caps if any?
HI Ka tho! I want you to watch this video if you’re serious about wanting to get started! Then go to the description box and check out more!!! Come join us in the tribe and sign up for the Socialife Diaries!

Exactly
J Canterbury exactly. They must be compensated for their time. Otherwise, it will not run.
😂😂😂Duh! Yep
precisely
Confirmation that this is exactly where I'm heading. Thank you
Absolutely! I completely agree with this. You have to get paid for the work you do.

( A friend used some grant proceeds in an area other than what the grant specified and was fined and had to pay the grant back. I don't thinks she ever did however, she eventually shut down). I had a nonprofit for about five years, and shut it down because I wasn't making enough money to pay myself, or run the program.
I’m sorry to hear about you and your friend’s nonprofits having to shut down. Whether for profit or nonprofit, many businesses find it hard to stay open past the five year mark. In regard to the board member aspect-you can get paid as a board member BUT you cannot vote for your salary. You would have to recuse yourself from the meeting and allow all the others to vote.
It is true that grants must be used as the guidelines state. When applying it is always best to be upfront about how it will be used.

That’s super sweet! Thank you so much for saying that! I’m so glad it helps!
I hate it when ppl always have a problem with getting paid , ppl just need to stay in their lane but thanks my Sister for the video
It’s a tough hurdle for so many people. Hoping this video can change that.
Thank u for this, this was so helpful! Hope all is well ur way! 💜
Thank you so much for letting me know it helped! What are you building?
@@Ashlee_Tate I'm not quite sure just yet, I'm just gathering up a bunch of general info for now before I decide!...Keep up tha good work! 😊
You inspire me sooo much! Thank God for you!
Well you just made my day!!!!! Thank you so much! Come join us in the FB Socialife Tribe!
Thank you! This helps me to have a more clear understanding of how we build our strategy once we get more money come into our nonprofit.
Fantastic!
Some nonprofits have administrative costs and payroll and others like mine don't, we put 100% into the program and nothing goes to the administrative costs. Our board pays for their own lunches and gas, our volunteers that spend money out of pocket are not reimbursed, kinda not nice, but we are all volunteers that would rather give out more burritos and bottled water to the poor, than take that food away to pay for gas...
When you first start up a nonprofit, you need to consider how you want to spend the money you collect, if you want to run a transitional housing home, you can easily make a profit after costs, if you are feeding the poor, you will go broke!
We started feeding 100 people per day, now we feed 350 each day and with more money coming in we will expand to another program, giving MUST be your hobby! If you are doing this to get rich, your nuts!
We also have a transitional housing program, where we charge $10 per night and require everyone to work at a job! We also provide jobs and teach floor covering installation and interior/exterior house painting. We pay our clients $10-15 per hour, I am a licensed general contractor, so it is a win, win, they learn a trade and get paid a fair wage, and I can do larger jobs!
We are always looking for more types of jobs to send our clients to.
We also offer "fiscal sponsorship" if you would like to operate a transitional program yourself, we do not charge any fees and you can use the sponsorship to apply for grants and all of the benefits of a 501c3.
If you want to contact me, to prove we are legit and give you more info about us, you can look me up at Guidestar.org search: The Studio of Hope Corporation
Giving as a hobby! I love it! Looks like your doing great and thanks for offering the fiscal sponsorship via guidestar! Love your mission so keep it up!
Thank you for the informative answer to a difficult question.
Thank YOU so much for watching AND for those kind words! Appreciate it!
Thank you so much for the great input! I am working on a project that am sure will be beneficial to many, since I've been there and know it, and I was wondering how I would be able to raise funds and eventually get paid, and your video really helped! Thank you!
Oh there are so many ways. Remember your nonprofit is a business. How were you planning to monetize it?
Thank you for sharing your passion and what works best for you.. this was so helpful.
I’m so glad! Thank YOU so much for watching! Don’t forget to sign up for The Socialife Diaries!
Oh I have signed up already and shared your page with a few people!! I'm trying to watch ALL of your videos but focusing on the one's that deal the information about the board members and the initial set up first.
Perfect!!! You are on it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Appreciate it and welcome to the Tribe!
I didn't know so many people decided not to have a salary but run a non profit business..this is surprising..because I have juggled the idea of starting a non profit.. but i always thought once everything was set up... we all would have salaries ...except the volunteers...
That’s a good goal! You are running a business!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much❤️
That makes me so happy! I’d love to have you join us! Sign up at Ashleetate.com to get an invitation to the tribe! We’d love to have you! Thanks again so much for watching!
Great information!! Thank you for your detailed information.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Great video! I have a question. Do we have to specify that percentage we’re taking out into the bylaw? All non profit bylaw I’ve seen have “no compensation to board members.” Im in the process of starting my nonprofit organization and will like to know for future reference.
A ton of great info. Thanks for the video.
Thank YOU for watching!
Thank you. I want an non-profit so bad & want to help but everyone tells me I need to make a living and do something else
Maya, it’s true you will need to make a living while you build any business but most of who started nonprofits started on the side until we have the means to JUST do the nonprofit business. Keep moving forward on your dream while you make a living for yourself! Also come join us in the tribe if you haven’t already! Grab your invitation at AshleeTate.com!
Yeah right. Follow your heart. Non profits are lucrative.
That is the biggest misconception about nonprofits. I was a financial analyst at a nonprofit of around 300 employees. The best way to know if a nonprofit is doing well or to compare for research purposes is to look at their 990. It can show the salary of the CEO, CFO, and other VPs as well as what they spent.
You'll do great! Planning is a salient aspect and very important! Good luck with your future endeavors!
Yes...u need to have a source of income to avoid burn out. Then you dont have to live on your NGO
Profit = Revenue - Expense. Expenses, including payroll.
You got it!
This was a great video. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Great video. Enjoyed it. Thanks! 🤙🏼✌🏼❤
Thank you so much!!!
@@Ashlee_Tate no worries! You have a new subscriber! Going to check out another video while I get work done now. I use the double screen to my advantage, lol. You're at work with me currently. Work being random nothings on one screen and you dropping Gems on the other. Thanks again. 🙌🏼✌🏼❤
Great video! Would of been able to finish if it was a little more written out and planned; so it could of flowed smoother. Even just bullet points, especially for your examples, would have helped. Thanks for the great information!! 👏🏽
So sorry about that! I was just starting out and my videos weren’t very clear! I so appreciate the feedback and thankful for you watching any of it! Lol! I’ve gotten better, I hope!🤞

Appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching!
@@Ashlee_Tate No problem. Thank you for being willing to use your time and skill to help others!
There is a lot to be said about what’s going on in the community with black lives matter but to change anything we must also change .I plan on starting a nonprofit called “Train the 9” were we will invest in helping those out of poverty struck areas pay for the 120$ police test and pass physical test required here in Washington. I believe there must be more diversity in our communities law enforcement. If anyone has any helpful info we are all ears and always open to new great minds to support.
I truly hope you moved forward with this plan!
You just jumpstarted me.
absolutely This was an amazing video, Thank you so much for the information
Thank you so much for watching!!
Ranting? Yes you hit this on the nail.
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Hi thanks for the video and info! Do I have to declare the “compensation package” in the bylaws or articles of inc?
Absolutely right. Well said.
Thank you so much Deann!! Appreciate it!
This was very helpful. Thank you!
i have 500 kids in malawi ,they are homeless no food ,no shelter even the clothes , there parent passed away ,its a big job all i need is a donation.
Very informative. I am ready to start my non-profit. I would really appreciate your help. I've gone to the website to join the tribe. Now I'm about to watch "Start Your Non-profit in 30 Days". I can't wait to hear from you!

Thanks! Helpful information.
Thank You, this was really helpful❤
so helpful!!!!!!!!!!
My opinion? The value of help/management should be reflective? Example, as a director/founder, not making allowances for compensation such a terrible precedent, valuing founder's hard sweat and sacrifice @ nothing/worthless. How does the organization ever transition to a professional administration, or transition @ all? Founders set a floor of self worth. Not saying the initial compensation can't be deferred, but @ least the precedent for compensation is established...
Agreed. Great points!!
Thanks for sharing this valuable input. This is great info about understanding how to structure the admin cost.
So glad it helped!!! What brand are you building?
thank you Ashlee
Awesome video, thank you 🙏🏾
Thank YOU for watching!
You are beaultiful and smart lady.
What if you bought all the equipment yourself before starting a nonprofit? Can your sale your equipment to the nonprofit?
Also if you found a building for rent, do I use my own money to start the business image and activity? Do I get my own money back out of the donations?
Generally the answer is no. You may have the opportunity to be reimbursed if your board says it’s possible. Most of the startup costs are a wash.
So informative! Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m so happy!!! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Another great piece of advice!

Just seems weird to call it a non profit when business and profit 📈 Is your purpose
It’s tough! I always instruct my clients to call and think of their business as a social impact business instead!
From what I'm getting here, is that a "NON-PROFIT" is still a business. And your "ADMIRATIVE" costs is where your salary comes from.
Yes administrative and operational costs generally include salaries that must be approved by your board.
I'm going volunteer at food bank's
Please, what is the difference between a non-profit and a foundation? Thank you.
Foundations generally provide funds to nonprofits but great question.
Thank you, this was helpful
I was thinking about what I can do for kids, my wife is a teacher. I was thinking we would have a lot to offer kids. But I would be taking ten steps back and my house I own would be to small. I was thinking then maybe I could do a non profit foster care and possibly start a small ranch and donate the organic beef to the local shelter and maybe do a food stand for the homeless. I just don’t know where to start or how to. Anyone a pro out there ????
Join us in the tribe and let’s flesh out this idea! I like the way you’re thinking though!
Very informative thank you 🙌🏽

Love your stuff. I've watched dozens of videos and yours was very informative. Compared to other channels that are all bout non profits. Would love to chat with you privately either on the phone or email.
I do charge a $75 fee for 1-1 calls but have a course that walks you through the entire process for $50 from start to finish. You can connect with me in the tribe by grabbing your invite at ashleetate.com
Awesome video! Thank you. I am curious about something: If I’m able to pay myself and staff what we are worth, then what differences are there in terms of salary, compared to a for profit?
It must be reasonable to the market and agreed upon by your board members
10:00 lets say the founder is bringing in 10 mil annually form direct fundrasiung for the non profit, does the founder deserve 1 mill? I say yes, you? Also where are the lagilites here on caps if any?
The salary is determined by your board. Everyone must vote and ensure that the duties match the pay.
Hi Ashlee, i want to start a non profit organization, can you please help me with more information.
