Nonprofit Business Planning for the Social Entrepreneur
Have you been thinking of starting a nonprofit? Face it, the world needs you now more than ever! You are a change-maker, a hero, someone with a vision for a better world. You are a social entrepreneur.
As a social entrepreneur, your wisdom tells you that you need a plan to not only launch your nonprofit but to also ensure that you reach the right people, with the right services. You also know that part of planning is looking beyond getting started and setting into place the tools that will create vibrancy, viability - and most important of all - sustainability.
The "Nonprofit Business Planning for the Social Entrepreneur " course will guide you and set the stage for the impact and reach that I know you will achieve and sustain.
