How does one start a for non-profit company?

[kayode10]

I think you need to register your organisation with the government as non-governmental organisation outfit. Then you can start a campaign for different causes and ask people to sponsor you for the events.

Hmm. starting a non profit organisation or business organisation is not that very easy. even though there are some who are in to such operation but they are not alone in the game. they partners with other either governmental or non government organisations who will provide them with financial assistance.

Do Your Homework​

Conduct a needs analysis​

Find out if organizations (nonprofit, for-profit, or government) are already doing the same or similar work in your community. It will be harder to get support if you are just duplicating existing services rather than improving or adding to them. Also find demographic or population data that shows a need for your services, and explain how that need is not being met

Draft your mission statement​

Developing your mission statement is a critical first step. It communicates your nonprofit's purpose, what groups it serves, and how it will serve them. Every decision and action in your organization should support and further your mission

Write a business plan​

Just as with a for-profit business, a business plan can help a nonprofit describe how it intends to achieve its mission in more specific details. It also can be used to outline a new project or venture

Develop your board​

As your nonprofit's governing body, your board fulfills a variety of roles and legal responsibilities. In order to carry out these duties effectively, the board will change as your organization grows and matures. While recruitment is an important step in this process, a systematic approach to board development, including orientation, training, evaluation, and the cultivation of prospective board members, is critical to ensuring its long-term success.

Step 3: Incorporate Your Nonprofit​

Now that you have reached this step, it's time to find resources that are specific to your location.

Why should you incorporate?​

• Having a formal structure will give credibility to your programs and services.
• The corporate structure limits the liability of the organization's officers and directors.
• The IRS requires organizing documents and governance policies and procedures that are usually associated with corporations

Nonprofit business organisation will only flourish in a situation in which you have a backup business that will be able to support the organisation financially, even though it is a non-profit organisation but the financial aspects and funding is really necessary.

In my home country, if you want to establish non-profit company, you will have to go to the concerned department to register your company. You need to clearly mention in your company documents that you are not for making profits. You will have to run your company through donations.

Well from what you have said. I think they are trying to change it from a business to a charity organisation because you will need support from the government UNICEF and you will need to register to make interested donators know about it. Even if you have enough capital there might be a time you might exhaust your capital and not keep up with the tax.

 

[Sotherefore]

You will need partnership from people, most especially those that would help In funding. This is one of the most important factors when thinking of establishing any organisation. And the government are the one that supposed to help.

I guess every country has its own rules and regulations for starting a non-profit company. In our country, you need a team of at least 7 members to start a non-profit organization. The organization needs to be registered in the district administration office. YOu need government IDs of the members, including no objection letter form the police department to get registered.

Yes, each and every country may have some kind of specific rules and regulations related to this. This is why such kind of non-profit organisations are also regulated by the government and I think that this is a good thing. Non-profit organisations usually depend a lot upon donations. There should be a proper system that may help them to manage funds.
