Starting a not-for-profit is very simple; just start providing a service, fight a cause, try to right a wrong or help people live better. What is difficult is starting a successful not-for-profit that is sustainable and actually makes a difference. Before starting to provide a program or service, it is critical to fully investigate your motivations, your skills, and the existing programs and services being offered. Work through this checklist to determine if you have the right qualities, have a solid plan and have the skills to successfully start a not-for-profit. From Volunteer Manitoba.
