So You Want To Be A Nonprofit? - S. King County Only

Should we become a nonprofit or something else?

This training will cover considerations that community members should be thinking about and planning for before they make the decision to create a nonprofit organization.

In this interactive workshop, participants will receive information that will assist them to:

- Decide if a nonprofit is the best structure for addressing the community need they have identified; and

- Understand the process for forming a Washington State nonprofit corporation and/or applying for IRS tax-exempt status.

Topics well cover include:

- what you need to know before forming a nonprofit (look before you leap);

- how to assess your readiness to form and sustain a nonprofit;

- simple steps to take you from your dream to nonprofit with IRS 501 (c) (3) tax- exempt status;

- helpful hints and pitfalls to avoid when forming your organization; and

- much more!

Presenters:

Sarah Tran, Nonprofit Assistance Center and
Jodi Nishioka, Wayfind.
