Hello, I'm LaCharla!

Welcome to Nonprofit Startup Academy. If you're committed to making a Big Difference in the world and you're thinking of launching a U.S. nonprofit, this is a great place to start.

As a consultant, I help nonprofits with strategic planning, program development, executive coaching, and other org-building services. But I created this digital program to support the "everyday" Difference-Maker who is new to the nonprofit sector.

So if that's you, keep reading to see if Nonprofit Startup Academy is right for you.

Words of Appreciation

"Before becoming a part of LaCharla's program for Non-Profits, I had no clue where to even begin! LaCharla's program stood out to me because of how it crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's for running a successful Non-profit. As a matter of fact, since beginning my work with LaCharla our Non-profit not only has gotten up and running, but we have also been able to raise thousands of dollars to provide those impacted by addiction with the knowledge and experience of the teachings of meditation, yoga, healthy living, and diet."

Your Big Vision

Even with all our blessings here in the U.S., many people are struggling. Fortunately, charitable nonprofits--launched by compassionate people like you--offer life-changing help every single day.

If you have a Big Vision for serving people in need and see yourself serving hundreds, even thousands of people, starting a nonprofit might be a good option for you.

The nonprofit world may be new to you, and so you haven't started working on yours. Or maybe your startup paperwork is done and you wonder what to do next. In either case, I created Nonprofit Startup Academy to support you.

My Programs

Whether you're beginning your nonprofit startup journey, or you've completed your paperwork, you can get org-building support for yourself and your board. You don't have to do this alone.
