Non-Profit Business/Organizations

Posted by Richetta on December 15, 2010 at 5:15pm in Sistas Connect

I know that this site is dedicated to business... However non-profit business/organizations are essential in the black community.  I wanted to know if any sisters on hear run a non-profit and if so will they be willing to share their experiences be it good, bad or ugly.  This is something I have been researching and interested in for sometime and I want a little reat talk FEEDBACk.

 

Thanks

    I have a Christian organization, but just started it as an LLC because I wanted to get it up and running.  In the next few years, I will establish it as non-profit, but there was so much I needed to get started that I decided to go ahead and get it up and running and established for a few years and get some exposure before converting it.  The difficult part about it is that it is hard to get fundraisers or donations because it is not non-profit, so I rely on book sales and speaking engagements. I have so many things in place for 2011 that hopefully will launch me out there greater so I can establish my non profit.

      I applaud you for your choice Quiniece; sometimes you have to think outside the box.
