About LaCharla Figgs
Founder of Nonprofit Startup Academy
I love supporting Visionaries who want to make a Difference in the world for Good.
I'm LaCharla Figgs, and I created Nonprofit Startup Academy to support compassionate Difference-Makers like you. I've spent the past 30+ years supporting charitable nonprofits. As a strategic planning facilitator, trainer, program director, executive coach, grantmaker, consultant, and more.
And I still love my work!
You're Not Alone
________________
Starting a nonprofit means wading into new territory. My job is to be your trainer and mentor through that journey. To help you see what's ahead. To steer you away from pitfalls and help you navigate the frustrations that may pop up.
You'll see that I'm constantly teaching and sharing insights with you. Because having a nonprofit on paper is not enough. You need to understand all that comes with being a founder. And you need to develop the skills and confidence to lead your nonprofit well.
I’ve worked with government officials and nonprofit leaders, faith-based practitioners, and residents of low-wealth communities. I’ve worked with board members and everyday folks interested in nonprofit startup. I’ve run into many organizational challenges–from personality clashes and power struggles to the need for “mini re-engineering.”
The long version of my story...
And now, through Nonprofit Startup Academy, I'm using those years of experience to help new and aspiring nonprofit founders serve people in need.
Especially those who are new to the world of US nonprofits.
If you're on the fence or you just don't know how to get started, let's chat. Starting a nonprofit is not the best option for everyone, and I'm happy to have a candid conversation with you about how it may or may not be your best option.
