Choosing the Right Nonprofit

  • Types of Nonprofits
  • Establishing Nonprofit Structure

Starting a nonprofit allows you to use your business talent, education and experience for the good of humanity. This purpose-driven experience can yield rewards more valuable than wealth.

Let’s start by defining a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. When you hear c3, most refer to a public charity accepting tax-deductible donations. You probably knew that.

Establishing a nonprofit starts with choosing structure. Understanding types can decide your nonprofit’s structure.
