    I recently learned it's good to call your board a board of TRUSTEES (instead of directors).
    Helpful video as always!

    We would also like to add AMSS meetings to this list. Amber Melanie Smith Sessions. Which are great video exercises to step out of the box and look at yourself in review and perspective. Thank you Amber. You are so helpful!

    I just found your videos....I'm an INTJ personality type and I had an idea/vision based on past and current life patterns. I appreciate your years of dedication and look forward to more of your input. This year is going to be rough for many people...I already got a pledge that will help someone, but I need to get things buttoned up legally before this economy does its thing. Hope everyone has a great 2023🤙

    Conflict of interest can be confusing because what if the NP was founded by relatives and some of those relatives have very special skills and services they’d been contributing for free from the start. Then when funding comes in they can’t be paid? We often start organizations with very limited resources and access to providers. That’s when we lean on friends and family for support. If a married couple start a NP, and they are the working board in the early stages, how do you transition when you expand capacity?

      I hear you. Basically, the IRS wants to ensure nonprofits are not formed to be controlled or to serve the interest of one person or family, so it set up these checks and balances.

    Hey, do you think starting an digital marketing agency in the "Non-Profit Organizations" niche could be a good idea? Thanks

    • @AmberMelanieSmith
      @AmberMelanieSmith  Рік тому

      Hey there! There are certainly those types of businesses that exist - I suppose it would depend on the specialties and skills of the business.

    I originally started a podcast about true crime and trauma which led me to my nonprofit. I am not currently making money on the podcast but hope to at some time but is this a conflict of interest since they are both mine? I refer to each one on both websites and I have a fake board at the moment. I am all 3 members 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

    • @AmberMelanieSmith
      @AmberMelanieSmith  Рік тому +1

      Have you filed for 501c3 nonprofit status with the IRS? You won't legally be able to have a fake board (plus that is scary for donors to hear!). RE: Podcast - as long as your podcast and nonprofit are totally separate entities, and you aren't using the nonprofit to generate profit for your private for-profit podcast, I don't think it would be a conflict; so you can advertise the nonprofit through your podcast but you wouldn't advertise your podcast on your nonprofit's website.

      @@AmberMelanieSmith Yes,I have my 501c3 and I do have real people on the board they just don’t do anything. It was more like to get the ball rolling kind of thing.

    Good day Amber, I am also busy trying to start a nonprofit organization. Can I become the CEO of the organization as a founder, and I am studying towards a Bachelor of Business Management and having a diploma in civil engineering, if not what position will be suitable for me or what will be my role?

    • @AmberMelanieSmith
      @AmberMelanieSmith  Рік тому

      Hey there! Who becomes the CEO is a conversation with you and your Board. :) I would tell your Board that is your goal and inspire their support to vote to approve that position for you.

    • @studyingwhileinyourprime4691
      @studyingwhileinyourprime4691 Рік тому

      Now actually what is the benefit of a nonprofit organisation, because I am working so hard to establish it and it seems likes other people may come and reap its fruits. No ownership and you still have to be voted for positions, what will my role be than?
