GOOD....GOOD...GOOD

This book did basically exactly the same thing as the lawyer did except I paid the lawyer $1000 last time I started the business and this time I read this book and did it myself. Don't bother with the blood sucking lawyer just get this and set your nonprofit fast and easy all by yourself. You don't have money to waste when you're starting a nonprofit and too many lawyers just don't understand this.

different types of non-profit organizations.

I find this book very informative. I've heard few books on How to Start a Non-Profit organization this one by far is the most comprehensive, as it includes a clear explanation of private and public foundations, their privileges and other tax related concerns, but the main focus of this book is starting and keeping the organization running successfully. Tips are straightforward and very easy to implement.

Regarding starting a non-for-profit businesses, I would say this is the best audiobook out there for this topic.

Any additional comments?

If you've ever wanted to start a business about giving back, then look no further than this audiobook. I like how it talks about the benefit of start a non for profit business and also makes you aware of the government protocols. Taxes can especially be challenging but this audiobook briefly talks about that.

Starting a non profit

What did you love best about How to Start a Nonprofit?

It's a joy and a challenge to start a nonprofit and I love the advice in seeking professional assistance in getting it started.

Any additional comments?

There's so many loops, obstacles, and bureaucracy you have to go thru to start a non for profit. I'm glad this audiobook lays most of them out for you. It's rewarding and I'm looking to start a non for profit program myself. It's almost like a business and you have to really buckle down and go thru the hard times but there's nothing more gratifying than helping your fellow community for a good cause.

Must listen to it.....

This book answered pretty much all of the questions I had about starting up a 501 C nonprofit corporation. There is a lot of misinformation out there on the internet and seeing a lawyer is very expensive. I don't know that this book can be a complete alternative to hiring a lawyer, but it can get you off the ground in the right way and make sure you don't make any big blunders in the process.

great information book

This book is an excellent resource for those of you who are setting up a non profit org. Though it would be nice if the templates were made available at a link or PDF download. I decided to use other online resources to expedite that process..nice book.
