5 Biggest MISTAKES Your Nonprofit Makes

Wouldn’t it be nice if every time we start to do something stupid, someone would be there to intervene before we did it? You know, like jump out and scream, ‘DON’T DO IT!” Of course, that person is probably already your spouse, and you’re doing a lousy job of listening to them, so maybe it wouldn’t help after all. But what if I told you that, right now, you are possibly doing five things to undermine your nonprofit's success. Would you want to know what they are? Chances are, you’re doing at least one of these, so stick around... it just might help you out!

New subscriber. I didn't know that foundations had to register in every state they receive funds from 😮.

Hey Greg, Great video and plug for St Jude, I actually got to tour the main hospital in Memphis some years back. My nonprofit focuses on donors looking for naming rights to buildings and websites. I really think you should let a lot of nonprofits out there know that they will need to get their 501(c)(3) status from the IRS or they will be subject to the Corporate Transparency Act in 2024.
