- How do you start a nonprofit organization? How do you manage a nonprofit organization? Starting a nonprofit sounds like a simple task but there are many steps to get there. Starting a nonprofit is so much more than filling out paperwork, it’s about having a game plan to be a strong organization from the start. This video is reference to 501c3 nonprofit organizations, so follow these steps when starting a 501c3 nonprofit.
So, get your notebook out and get ready to take notes! In this video, learn how to start up a nonprofit organization from A to Z. In this video, I will walk through how to form a nonprofit. Using my free startup nonprofit checklist as a guide (you can download that here: bossonabudget....
I am walking through every phase you should go through when you're starting up. If you need help doing these steps, try my nonprofit workbook which helps you keep track as you get started: rebrand.ly/nps...
As I walk through this process, learn the biggest mistakes people make when starting their nonprofits.
IDEA PHASE starts at 3:01 - First we start with defining your idea. Make sure you have a fleshed out idea, and that you select a strong Board. It's also key to have a strategic plan in place along with a budget and fundraising plan.
EXECUTION PHASE starts at 12:32 - Next is the Execution phase - which means identifying the paperwork to establish and incorporate your organization.
FEDERAL AND STATE FORMS starts at 18:57 - You also need to figure out the forms that you need to get your tax-exempt status from the IRS. Learn the two forms and who’s eligible for each one. This is the process for filing for 501c3 status.
FUNDRAISING starts at 22:45 - The next phase is fundraising and the disclosures you should have in place. I also talk through the insurances you need as an organization.
INSURANCE starts at 25:55 - This involves making sure you have the right protections in place to protect your board, staff, and volunteers.
BRANDING AND COMMUNICATIONS starts at 26:48 - Next is thinking through your branding and communications and making sure you have a brand persona.
EVALUATION AND PERFORMANCE starts at 28:37 - This is about the ability you have to show your organization's impact and positive outcomes.
STAFFING AND HIRING starts at 32:02 - This section is about staffing requirements to think through what you should have in place to be prepared for staffing and hiring so you can be ready to hire when it’s time.

@@BossonaBudget when i saw it was 40 minutes i knew it was gone be good lol, i’m a licensed insurance agent but i’m new and my angle is to raise that awareness in the community about what having life insurance does
FACTS so happy I was able to learn this from a dope black woman !
PERIODT!!!
PERIODT!!!!
Just stumbled across your video after attending a non profit event for cancer last night and it really got me thinking about doing something for my community. I clicked in and out of many videos but with you, after you spoke the first three words, I paused the video and got my pen and paper, and said she’s the one.😊 Thank you for putting it into such a detailed and organized presentation. God bless you for sharing your content, experience, and knowledge of this topic with the cost of love.
You’re too kind, thank you for the love 💕 I’m so glad the video was helpful.
@@BossonaBudget Its funny i did the same, paused and got my pen and paper
Where is the checklist?
Me too, I watched so many and when I got here I knew she was the one. I'm really excited. I hope she's not too busy to help me.
are you looking for suggestions ? I have some , what im doing in my own community.
I know this video is 3 years old now but I wanted to say: wonderfully done! Love how concise you were. Thank you!
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I’ve been wanting to start my non profit for 20 years. It seems so daunting. I started watching your channel last year and it’s motivating me to take that leap of faith🙏🏾
I’m so happy for you!!
One of the BEST teachings on how to start a Non-Profit business i've ever seen!!!!! I'm getting started right now... I need to sit behind you and pick your brain...lol
Thank you for the compliment! I’m actually starting a small membership group so you can do just that 😉 Stay tuned.
@@BossonaBudget I wanna come
Video was informative! I’m in California, I recently called Legalzoom and it’s $703.00 for them to do everything ! But on a separate note; I wish it were less expensive !
Thanks for watching 🤗 with some solid research, it’s possible to do it yourself. It will be helpful to have someone review before you submit
Geez! This is THEE BEST/simple break down that I've ever heard snot starting 501s! It was like being in a webinar! You answered ALL the 5Ws and even went beyond by sharing things to beware of!💪🏾My brain is hyped🥳 and tired🥵 at the same, I'm eager to start.😁 I subscribed to your newsletter, thx for all of the resources!
You're an answered prayer!🙏🏾
Peace, Im finalizing my non profit status and I’ve been stressed about what to do next. Sis finding your channel is beyond helpful. Thank you so much.
I’m not in the USA and live in Africa where lot of women and girls, boys are vulnerable in society. Im thinking seriously about starting one. Ur information post here give me more insight on how to begin.
That was really helpful.
Look forward to working with u some days in Africa.
Thanks so much for watching! I wish you the best with your idea 🤗
I’m an audio learner so yes I’m video helps me !
I know this was recorded years ago but I’m sure most info is still applicable today, im feeling very inspired to move toward my purpose…THANK YOU ❤
It sure is! Let me know if you have questions or you can also catch me on Sunday nights. at 8pm EST when I go live.
I truly thank God for you Queen. I have been watching your videos for the past couple of days and I am signed up for your workshop 4/10/23~4/15/23. These videos are so helpful for my visions GOD has given me. I'm so excited to be on this phase of building the foundation of The Foundation 🙏🏾🙃💚💙💜
Was the workshop helpful?
Thanks to God for this. Am on the journey of starting up a nonprofit organization this year in Uganda.
This was truly a God sent. I really appreciate you for taking the time to breakdown every step in the process.
Thank You!
Thank you so much for watching 🤗
This is literally the holy grail of everything I needed to know for our growth. Thank you!
Oh wow, I’m so happy you got something out of it. Thank you for watching!
You are a boss! I have spent the last four hours watching videos on UA-cam about starting a nonprofit and none of them were as real, sincere, and helpful as what you have done here. Thank you so much! I am planning to open a 501(c)3 in 2022 to support our community's workforce development. I see you are still actively producing, so I look forward to your other videos and following along.
Thank so much for watching! I wish you much success on your nonprofit next year! You can follow me on IG too @bossonab.
@@BossonaBudgetI starting something that helps families dealing with Postpartum
Thank you Sis! This is an excellent benefit. Clients often think, "Hey I have a great idea for a nonprofit. I'm going to start a nonprofit and get grants!" Umm no. So much more complicated.
🤗 Thanks so much for watching!
I have been struggling to figure out how to structure my vision and its all clear now. Instead of having my llc raise the fund to fund my nonprofit vision (which makes it very personally driven and not nonprofit and charitably driven). Just have a dba or llc for nonprofit and that funds can pay my salary since it is unrestrictive funds, then I can raised the funds for the program because it is easier to find program funding and raise funds for programs than administrative overhead.. THANK YOU!
I’m so glad you got to it clarity. And just so you know, your nonprofit can conduct “business-like” activities too as long as they’re centered around your charitable purpose
Thank you the process of starting a nonprofit can seem daunting but you made it more accessible and less overwhelming!
I’m so glad you feel less intimidated by it all. You can do this! 🤗
Easily the best explanation on UA-cam! Thank you for your informative and detailed explanation!
Thanks so much for watching!
This is awesome and great....i thought to open a foundation is just an easy thing to do......i only listened to one video of yours..........i realized that i need to sit down and listen to all of them before i can think of anything..............I bless you...
Deep explanation. I learned something today thanks
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video.
I know what I need to do and this has encouraged me immensely.
Sincerely, Thank You!
I'm so glad it helped!
Lol watching this at 11 o'clock at night working on my idea haha
Love it! Keep going 💪🏽
You're really amazing, I get a lot of benefits from your video!
Thanks for this awesome video!

Wow Wow PRAISE THE LORD 👐👐👐👐 THANK YOU JESUS 👐👐👐 SO MUCH WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE 🌞MAY OUR GOOD LORD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU WHILE YOU ARE BLESSINGS OTHERS 💟
God bless you too! Thanks so much for watching
Thankyou so so much for this information❤️ I’m 19 but I’ve been passionate about starting my own non profit for awhile now.
I’ve heard of plenty of people starting in their teens. You can definitely do it 💪🏽
@@BossonaBudget Thankyou ❤️
WoW this was really helpful ! I am worried that I don’t know how to address my friend that wants to create an NPO. It’s as if all the preliminary groundwork has truly not been done. I had to refuse to be part of the board because I felt she really she did not have any idea of How she was going to make it work. She just has this idealistic idea that a NPO is where it’s at when you want to help out. I appreciate your video and all the advice you gave. Wishing you were in Texas!!!
Aryana, you really do have the right perspective! A lot of people just don’t understand what it really means to run a nonprofit. But a lot of those people learn by trial and error. She’ll figure it out eventually. Some people will never be convinced unless they experience it for themselves, so it’s best to support her from a distance. One day I’ll be able to do a cross country tour and visit 🤗
Hey Tiffany. I've been in every NPO room you were a speaker in this week on Clubhouse. You killed it in every room. Now I'm looking forward to your All About Boards MasterClass. Have a great weekend. See ya Monday, MirendaCan.
Awesome, thanks Mirenda 🤗 See you in class!
Tiffany, I am looking to start my nonprofit and this was exactly the resource I was looking for. I will be looking through your checklist and getting started immediately. I’m so happy that you made this video to help all nonprofits as well as myself with this crucial step of efficiently and effectively Building the change that we want to see in the world. Thank you thank you thank you! I hope you are well and you continue to help those around you!
Im so happy we crossed paths. I wish you the best in your journey! When you need help raising money make sure you come back!
It was helpful I just came up with plan and have no idea how to make it a reality. But I have some were to start now thank you
Just discovered you today, and let me just say… THANK YOU QUEEN!! 😩🙏🏾🌹🌹
Yay, welcome to my channel! Don’t forget to get the checklist: bossonabudget.lpages.co/np-checklist/
This is the best I have seen so far as it relates to starting a non-profit! Easy to fall and understand. I am a retired HR professional and I understand the needs when on boarding. I am developing a board right now and will only work with contracted folks. My system will a bit different and this is a start up in the state of Ohio. I need to identify potential funders or a way to fund raise...I do not have the up front cash if it runs over a couple thousand...which I'm sure it will lol...I plan to watch this a couple more times for the depth of info you speak to in this video...really open my eyes and I love the detail presentation and format...thank you!
Welcome to the community! I have some resources to help with raising money if you need help. I’ll drop a few links
