- Planning your founding board and its responsibilities
- Organizing the documents typically needed, such as articles of incorporation and bylaws
- Preparing core policies funders often ask about
- Designing your first programs with clear goals
- Setting up basic record keeping, calendars and document storage
- Mapping a realistic first-year funding strategy
YES! provides organizational and administrative guidance. For legal filings, tax-exemption applications and tax advice, we recommend working with a qualified attorney or CPA, and we are glad to coordinate with them.
