Most people think I want a Non Profit. Or if only I had grant  money- then I would be set. Unfortunately, that is not the
complete story and it does not work that easy!

You must be dedicated to start a Non Profit; there is work that has to be done BEFORE you start receiving grant money.


I am going to make the steps as simple as possible for you on how to start a Non Profit and then I will answer some questions that everyone wants to know the answer too.

1. Decide what your Non Profit will do? What service will you be providing? Is  your nonprofit needed?
2. Establish your Board of Directors.
3.  Reserve your name with the Secretary of State.
4.  File Articles of Incorporation- pay fees.
5.  Create By-Laws and submit to the State. Apply for an EIN.
6. Apply for 501C3 status with IRS (Form 123) pay fees.
7.  Apply for exception for State Corporate  income tax and franchise tax (if applicable).
8.  Workers Compensation Insurance- if you have four (4) or more Full time or part-time employees.
9.  File Unemployment Taxes if those same employees work a total of 20  weeks in a calendar year.
10.  Ready to get started!

Non Profits do the following:

1. Deliver a needed services
2. Educate the public on vital issues
3. Find solutions
4. Work within your culture
5. Engage people in the community
6. Provide a voice for the voiceless
7. Improve government policies
8. Providing faith-based activities

 FQA’s

 1.      How   soon will I be able to find and receive grant  money?
a.       Researching  for a grant is a FULL TIME job! It  is something you must do every day. 
b.     Once  you find a grant- you must apply and  IF you are award the grant money- it is allocated to do specific things. IT IS NOT YOURS TO SPEND FREELY! 

2.      How  much money will I receive from a grant to pay myself? 
a.       It  depends on the grant and if salary is allowed. When you apply for a grant it  will give you GREAT detail on how they want you to spend THEIR  MONEY.

3.      Can  someone guarantee me that I will be awarded a  grant?
a.       NO.  You are competing with other organizations. The best thing you can do is to
  follow their instructions and pay attention to every  detail.

4.      How  do I really get started? 
a.       Easy-  follow the steps I gave above. OR
b.     Google-  How to Start a Non Profit.   You can include the state you are living in to give you the guidelines for that
  state.

So I have given some very basic steps on how to get started and  what to do.

You think you’re ready? You’ve been doing this for a while and perhaps you have paying customers and things are going
great.  Before you JUMP into your business FULL TIME let’s look at some of the questions 

1.      How much are you making as a percentage of your day job?  
2.      How is the income trending from your  small business? Is it a steady income or sporadic? 
 
 Deciding when to quit your day job is a serious decision and  there any many factors that need to be considered before you make that JUMP. 
 
One of the things to look at is how much are you making as a  percentage of your day job? For example do you make $60,000 (yr.) at your  present employment and income from your business is equal to $30,000 a year? 
This would require a serious life  style change and a big sacrifice. Or perhaps you make $35,000 a year and the
income from your business is $40,000. It would seem as if everything would be  great.

Here are some more questions for you BEFORE you tell your  company exactly what you think:

 1.     Are  you customers regular? And dependable?
2.     Is  your income residual? Meaning if you’re not actively selling something will you still have income from your product or  service?
3.      Will  you be able to pay your bills from your  business?

If you can answer YES to all of these questions- CONGRATULATIONS  you are on your way.

However, if you are like most startups your customer base is not  solid just yet; at best you have a few clients perhaps every 6 to 8   months.

Starting your own business of nonprofit can be an extremely  exciting time nonetheless; you want to be careful about how soon you quit your  day job to pursue your business full time. 

I love to share information and make sure everyone can make an  informed decision. If you are just not sure where to go from here or if you are  wondering exactly what do I need to do about those sporadic clients- contact
Waddell Consulting Services today for your FREE 30 MINUTE  CONSULTATION.


 
 
 

The difference between the two really depends on the scope of services that  you want to offer and how you want to offer them.  I am going to make this as  SIMPLE as possible!

Nonprofit does not earn money (profits) for its owners.  ALL MONEY (profit)  earned by or donated to the organization MUST be used in pursing the  organization’s objectives. A nonprofit usually provides a public service.

An important thing to remember about nonprofit organizations is that no one  can guarantee you grant money unless they are the ones actually giving you the  money. A very SIMPLE example of how it works is this:

1. Find a grant
2. Following the instructions and do exactly what the  grantees is asking for
3. Submit your documentation
4. WAIT on a  response

That’s it! The final decision is up to the grantor! No one can promise you  that your grant proposal will be approved. I made that mistake and spent well  over $1500.00 for a packet and at the end of the program I was left with a stack
of paper and no grant money.
 
IF you want your nonprofit to solely depend on  grant money you will need someone FULLTIME to research for grants it is not just  a one-time thing! 

Establishing a nonprofit will take a great deal of detail worked and being  very descriptive on the services that you want to offer to your community. There  are fees associated with creating a nonprofit; the fee amount depends on the
state that you live in.

For profit business is just the opposite. If you want to be a sole  entrepreneur then you are finished with establishing your business. What does  that mean, it means that you have chosen not to incorporate, form a partnership,  or become a LLC. You have chosen to be your only employee! Can you change this  status after your business has grown absolutely! 

Once you change the status of your for profit organization there are fees  associated with filing the necessary documents. 

These are just some very basic difference between a nonprofit and for profit  organizations.

Entrepreneurship is an amazing thing. It is time consuming, requires dedication and sacrifice AND it requires money!

First, let me start by just stating some obvious  facts:

 ·     You  cannot receive money for a business – IF YOU NEVER SET UP A  BUSINESS
 ·     Money  is NOT going to drop out of the sky into your  lap
 ·     Finding  a grant is HARD work and it doesn’t stop with just one – you have to keep  looking  

Now that I have your attention let me explain a few things:   Before you can start making money you do have to have some type of structure in place to receive the money you  want to make. 

Would you give money to someone who asked for it but had no proof that they were actually a legal business? 
 
I always get a question that starts out…I want you to find me a grant to open my business. My answer will always be absolutely! However, are you willing to do the work and pay the fees that it cost to set up a non-profit?   If
the answer is YES then we have a great starting point.  If the answer is fees? Work? Then we need to start at the beginning! 
 
REMEMBER:
 No one can promise you that they will get receive grant money UNLESS they are actually giving you the money!

If you have been trying to do this on your own and it’s been over a year and still no progress then you need to contact Waddell  Consulting Services!

Let me take a look at what has already been established and give you some direction on where you need to go. OR if you just have the ideas and the thought of not having  money has stopped you from going any further…

Have you ever had the following  thoughts?
  ·     One day I  am going to shock everybody with my great  ideas….
  ·      I would  start today BUT I am so tired from work  ….
  ·      After the  kids go to bed that’s my only time to  relax
  ·     One day  I’m going to start that business as soon as I get the  money

 Well I am here to tell you NONE  of those things will help you accomplish your dreams and most of all you will
NEVER be in business for yourself!! 

At  some point you have to be honest with yourself and realize that ACTION  ALWAYS BEATS INTENTION and that you have to STOP  UNDERESTIMATING  YOURSELF.

 I have been there and I understand completely the overwhelming  feeling you can have just thinking about what you need to do- although you may  have no idea what it is you really need to do!!!  Does this sound  familiar?

 Contact Waddell Consulting Services and let me help you  understand what you need to do first. Often we can let fear stop us from  achieving our goals.

Procrastination is  just that fear!  It only takes you  deciding that today you will do something to make that dream a reality! 
 
I firmly believe that if you just do ONE  THING DIFFERENT than you did from yesterday you will achieve your
goals.
