Did you know the typical small business owner works three to four months just to earn enough profit to pay taxes? Whether you've been in business for several decades or are breaking ground as a new entrepreneur, taxes are a significant expenditure. They must be accounted for and incorporated into your business plan from the very beginning. Failing to account for taxes when planning, budgeting, and assessing revenue goals for a business is like failing to account for the expense of your rent or mortgage.

This is one of the most comprehensive guides you will find on how to start, run and grow a 501© nonprofit organization. I worked 23 years as a consultant for many small to medium size nonprofit organizations. My primary job was to show them the actual step-by-step process on how to open such charitable organizations properly and legally. Many nonprofit organizations run into various legal and tax problems if and when they don’t take the right steps when opening and filling their paperwork with their state and Federal government.

The future of your nonprofit rests on successful fundraising: discover how to do it right. Being part of a nonprofit is one of the most inspiring and passionate lines of work someone can do.

This is a struggle many nonprofits experience, and they end up wasting a lot of energy on ineffective strategies that just don’t seem to work. You need to understand the best practices out there that will help your organization access the funds it needs to keep going.

Every now and then, nonprofits partner up with government agencies, foundations, and other such organizations to carry out projects with potential to change lives, improve scientific understanding, or for artistic works. For you and your nonprofit, that means drafting a grant proposal. No matter how impressive your vision looks on paper, unless your proposal aligns with the goals of the organization you seek grants from, you’re bound to get rejected. The good news is, with Winning Grants, you’re only a few steps away from the secret to writing winning grants.

Great read. Plain English. Extremely helpful.
I found this book helpful in thinking through the legal aspects of starting a nonprofit. I founded a nonprofit in December 2020 and am pursuing 501c3 application. I found myself thinking a few months ago, there has to be books out there about how to properly begin the 501c3 process. This is it.
Audrey seems to really care about her work as a nonprofit founder and attorney. She provides plenty of resources to get started.

This a great nonprofit 101 resource
I highly recommend this book for those of whom are considering getting a nonprofit underway. Also, this is a great resource for those who just received their IRS tax exemption status and are wondering "what do I do next?" Overall, its a very good step-by-step on what to do to achieve your goal of becoming a legit nonprofit.
For those complaining about the numerous plugs for the lawyer, I feel it is 100% OK and I did not find it too annoying.

Great book to open one’s eyes
This is a great book that not only tells the story of the authors struggles when opening a non profit but gives many answers as well as raises great questions to simplify and clear much of the muddy water. I have already started my Human Trafficking aftercare Non Profit SAFEEus.org and realize I should have done a few things differently. Now to share this book with the others on my BOD and initiate contact with the author… MM
