Book Reviews of Starting & Building a Nonprofit: A Practical Guide

Book Review: Amazingly Straightforward!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am in the process of getting a non-profit started to administrate projects and seek grant funding to work in E. Africa, and this book has been AMAZING! Our group is experienced at aid work, but completely inexperienced with the details of how to set up the non-profit, and what things we need to know now to prevent later problems in attaining our 501(c)(3) designation. It is full of practical procedures, written in a simple and straightforward way, and has been very easy to follow. So far, we are sailing through the process with very little problem, mostly because of this info. I'd say this is a must for anyone starting a non-profit on their own without the help of expensive lawyers.
