I am a nonprofit founder and Executive Director who learned how to start a nonprofit organization with no money. I had to find free resources fast. Now, there are even more tools and software out there that are free for nonprofits.
If you are starting a nonprofit, thinking about it, or have just started a nonprofit, or KNOW someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!

Glad to hear that!
Now m using Asana.
Thank you for doing these videos. Is there one that covers database solutions? You #1!!!
Hey Jon! Do you mean donor databases, client databases, or something else?
@@AmberMelanieSmith Eh - a little bit of anything. I'm noticing opportunities to look at metrics in a different way, but can't until we track more ancillary data. Things that don't fit nicely into a CRM or financial system.
Local colleges and university often have clubs or organizations that may be closely aligned with your NPO. They are often young, energetic and haven't been jaded by the difficulties of achieving an important goal.
True!
Great
:)
THANKS, FORM INDIA
You're welcome!
The Nonprofit Founder to Full-Time Academy is now LIVE with online training for folks getting started on their Nonprofit journeys in the USA! foundertofulltime.com/
Thank you for your nice video , I will be looking up this option to create my personal web site , please add video's techniques on how to create organization web site
Thanks for the suggestion!
Best youtube channel helping non-profits. thanks a lot. How do I reach you privately?
Thanks for your kind words! :)
Thank you for all of your helpful and relevant content! Microsoft 365 has rolled out TONS of free resources for smaller nonprofits, including a CRM that looks super robust and integrates with LinkedIn. I've used Google Workspace for years, but I'm learning how to use Microsoft Teams and SharePoint to level up my new nonprofit. Microsoft also plans to release volunteer management software in autumn 2021. Their nonprofit package pretty much covers all categories that you cover in this video, but it's not clear until you've already been approved by their system just how many tools they provide. Lastly, I'll add Boomerang as an awesome email efficiency and scheduling tool.
Thanks for sharing these!
Where can i find the web pages please.. I love your videos
Hey there, they should be in the video description!
hello from west virginia , trying to start nonprofit to save a historical downtown 3 story brick biulding, i probably will ask alot of questions .lol
Ha ha, welcome!
Happy 4th Amber
Thanks, you too!
1. I found Microsoft was easier, better value and way faster to verify!
2. Trello is awsome and free for everyone :)
Thanks for sharing!
Old video, but still helpfull. Thx a lot!
Just a good option. Microsoft offers lot oa aoftware for free if you are a registered non profit.
office 365 premium, windows and a bunch of other softwares for free up to 10 users.
Further, 3,500 usd per year in azure cloud services.
Sounds like there's some good stuff to put in an update video!
Hi Melanie, I remember watching one of your videos that recommended video creation software for non-tech people - can you please tell me which software it was, or point me in the direction of the right video? Thanks so much!
Hey there! Hmm, I've used animoto / adobe premiere before, and some editing can also be done on your phone.
Can you talk about whether its reliable to file your non-profit with programs like Legal Zoom or Swyft File? I can't afford a lawyer to file for me and was wondering if those resources are reliable for me to use
Many have used Legal Zoom successfully; there will be a cost for those services too (though likely not as high as a lawyer), and it probably depends on how complex your organization will be.
Hi Amber, can I start a crowd fundraising before getting the tax exempt status?
You can BUT the IRS may view it as personal income and you could take a personal tax hit from it.
Asana is not free for non-profits, only 50% discount
Also, which is more prudent: putting PayPal/stripe/square or using crowdfunding platform?
I think it depends on your goals and how big your audience is. Crowdfunding campaigns are most successful when you have a built-in audience of very engaged, loyal followers. :)
@@AmberMelanieSmith
Thanks!
Tech soup for discounted software
Yep, good one!
Can I be the board of directors and executive director as long as I don't vote on items that would conflict of intrest
Yes, you could do that. Then other non-related board members (could not be your family or people related to you in other ways) would have to vote on things related to your interests (whether to hire / fire you / your salary, etc.).
Would you be on my board? You seem to have a grasp of the NP sector. I'm starting an NP that helps fund and organize with creative endeavors created by under recognized artists & creators, that have no access to capital, technology and experts, provided by mainstream publishers of creative works. I'm initially focused on music, but want to be open to visual and functional art
You're very kind! :) People don't tend to serve on boards without being more familiar with the people and organization (it's a HUGE commitment!) but I encourage you if you haven't already to develop a Board of Directors "job description" and really think about the type of skills and expertise you need on your board and recruit from your local community! I have a playlist dedicated to Board of Directors things! Check it out for sure.
@@AmberMelanieSmith thank you for your content, I was being a goofball..lol so you're saying don't just ask rando people on the Internet to chair my corporation. Definitely have been digging into your channel. It's a great resource.
@@richunclejoey2249 :D

They do have some free features - not all, but some.
