    About this ebook

    There are many things to think about before embarking upon the journey towards starting and running your first non-profit organization. As a basic overview of what you can expect, this should help you make the decision whether or not to proceed and will provide the basic framework should you choose to move forward. There are lots of resources out there for starting a non-profit organization. Some are quite comprehensive and will even hold your hand and provide you with all the forms and programming language you need in order to proceed. This book is designed as a pre-cursor to those resources and will provide you with a broad overview of what you should consider before you begin, a thumbnail sketch that you can use to help you drill down your decision and a springboard to further research.

    Preface

    There are lots of resources out there for starting a non-profit organization. Some are quite comprehensive and will provide you with plenty of direction. Some will even hold your hand and provide you with all the forms and programming language you need in order to proceed. This is not one of those.
