If you’re not completely clear on the people you hope to serve and the way your nonprofit will operate, I encourage you to consider starting with The Nonprofit Founder's Readiness Checkup instead of The Lab.
Inside Readiness Checkup, you'll receive live guidance as you think through key decisions that shape your nonprofit and your role in it.
The Nonprofit Startup Lab is all about implementation. The Readiness Checkup can prepare you to hit the ground running.
Inside the Lab, you’ll move forward step by step as you:
Create the Right Kind of Nonprofit.
Draft your paperwork correctly for the type of nonprofit you want.
Keep Moving Forward.
Live guidance and templates keep you from getting stuck.
Select Your Board of Directors.
Receive guidance on board recruitment and select yours.
Get Board Fundamentals Training
Invite board prospects to attend the class before you appoint them.
Questions & Answers
Why shouldn't I use an online legal service instead?
You can. A legal service will ask questions & prepare filings that meet legal requirements.
They can't help you address the non-legal questions related to your operation.
Why can't I just create a nonprofit on my own?
You can certainly form a nonprofit on your own. The Lab is for those who want live guidance to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Does this program provide legal assistance?
No, it doesn't. It guides you as you make non-legal organizational decisions and complete your state and federal paperwork.
How long will it take to create a nonprofit?
Government turnaround times vary, but you'll get the support you need to complete your formation documents in 6 weeks.
