Reply #6: well... you should gather as much information as you can.

research grants and such

But you really need to contact an attorney.

A majority of nonprofits are run by Boards of Directors.

Founding a nonprofit is not like owning a business.


I hesitate to give you too much information, because I'm not an attorney.

If I were in your shoes, I would start making lists of possible supporters, funding sources, and startup expenses. I would also do a lot of soul searching. Imagine your business as successful, and then ask yourself how you got to that point.
