Starting A Nonprofit in Central Illinois
Live Webinar
Join us for an informative seminar with Genevieve Kirk and learn the fundamental steps to start a charitable nonprofit organization in Illinois.
Are you passionate about helping others and have an idea to serve your community? Is starting a nonprofit the best way to turn your vision into a reality?
Nonprofit organizations play a growing role in the social and economic well-being of our community as they provide services, goods and resources to meet community needs. Join this webinar and learn the key ingredients to:
- define your purpose and programs
- file articles of incorporation
- draft bylaws
- develop a board of directors
- optimize your organization’s fundraising efforts
- determine if a nonprofit corporation structure is the most suitable way to address your community need.
This interactive webinar concludes with a Q & A format where you will have an opportunity to get feedback from Genevieve and peers.
