I’m starting my own non-profit, and I thought I would ask if you know of any resources for non-profits on-line.

-Non-profitty

Dear Non-profitty,

Oh, indeed I do.

Now here’s the key. You may not make a profit, but you do need to make money or you will be very hungry. Hence, my little icon choice of the guy with the wheelbarrow of cash. You need some. Not a lot, but you do need it. So, let’s start out with the financial resources.

The Non-profit-resource center has resources for just about everything, especially that money stuff.

Network for Good has resources for fundraising. Yes, more money stuff. I know. You want to DO GOOD. You don’t care about money. Well, honestly, that’s how non-profits die. So pay attention to the money stuff.

And, of course, Idealist is the grandmother of all non-profit web sites. Check them out for just about everything.

Consider buying your furniture (or having it donated) from someplace like Greenworks that takes donated office furniture and sells it to you dirt cheap.

Consider a resource such as Kunstfabric, which provides art for organizations. Check out your local library for a similar service that is not based in Germany. A tad inconvenient.

Good luck!
