In this session you’ll learn the legal and logistical elements necessary to start a successful nonprofit. You’ll also learn about possible alternatives to starting your own nonprofit that you may not have considered. Finally, you’ll be introduced to a tool that will help you assess your own readiness to move forward. 

Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

• Outline the steps required to start a nonprofit
• Assess the alternatives to starting a nonprofit
• Complete the nonprofit startup assessment tool to determine where you are in the startup process and identify the next steps you should take
