Want to up your grant writing game?
Learn how Sharity has helped NPO’s like yours raise millions in grant funding.
Nonprofits are like cars, they all drive on the highway but there are many different kinds. There are a LOT of different types of nonprofits (c3, c4, c5, c6, private foundations, orgs with voting members, with non-voting members, with chapters, with affiliates) so be SURE you know what kind of nonprofit you should choose before you start.
Just because you want to do good deeds doesn’t mean it is automatically supposed to be a charity. Look at Tom's Shoes – they give away a pair of shoes to a child in need with each pair sold. They do good deeds and are still a for-profit company. Make sure you know why you'd chose one over the other.
Sometimes people think that once they start a nonprofit and get tax exemption money will fall from the sky…but that's not usually how it works. What's your plan for fundraising and what's it going to take to run the organization?

- Are you done sifting through the internet trying to read robotic sounding IRS publications and generic Wikipedia entries to (maybe) figure out how to do this legally?
- Would you like to spend an hour with an expert and actually get answers to your questions?
- Are you ready to learn how to turn your passion, your idea, your legacy into reality?
- Are you the kind of person who wants to have it done right?
- Did you start working on a startup and then feel totally overwhelmed or ripped off by document services companies that won't answer your questions?
- Are you just plain ready to focus on the mission and let someone else do the paperwork?
You're not a tax attorney, accountant or nonprofit governance expert.
You're excited about the mission and vision you're trying to create.
What can you do? What can't you do?
You already know setting things up right in the beginning will save you a lot of time, effort, and legal untangling down the road. This is why taking the time to go through all of your options, with someone that understands how to navigate this journey, can get you started off on the right foot.
Getting through this phase quickly and efficiently can allow you to focus on your mission, and let you do what you set out to do in the first place: solve a problem, create change, and make a difference.
Up your grant writing game to the expert level!
