💡 Tip of the Day: Starting a Nonprofit When starting a nonprofit, remember — your mission is your foundation. Before you do anything else, get crystal clear on why your organization exists, who it serves, and what change you want to create. A clear mission keeps you focused, helps attract funding, and makes it easier for people to get behind your cause. ✨ Now for some exciting news: Our first Nonprofit Startup Class will begin Friday, November 1! I’m excited to finally get started and can’t wait to see everyone’s participation. I wanted to wait until a few more people joined — and now we’re there! 🎯 Your part: Tell a friend who’s been talking about starting a nonprofit or community project — this class will help them get started the right way. Let’s build something meaningful together! 💪
