So You Want to be a Nonprofit? – Webinar

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!
