Hosted by the Director of the Bronx Nonprofit Center, these exclusive events are designed to empower you to establish your own nonprofit organization right away!

Each session can be enjoyed independently, but we highly recommend attending all five sessions for the most comprehensive experience. This series aims to help you grasp the process of setting up a nonprofit organization. You’ll learn about the necessary paperwork to submit, the reasons for creating it, and the initial steps, such as crafting a mission statement, selecting board members, and planning future operations.

SESSION 01: So You Are Thinking About Starting a Nonprofit Organization

During this session, we will have conversations with the participants about their ideas for the nonprofits they want to create. We will discuss why they want to do this, their experience in leadership, including fundraising, whether they have researched the need for such an organization, who the nonprofit will serve, and what they want to achieve.
