Workshop Fee: $20 

Is there a community issue that you want to address? Are you seeking donations for a project but keep getting told you must have a 501(c) (3) organization to qualify? Starting and running a nonprofit organization is a complex undertaking that deserves as much contemplation as starting any other business. Join us in this class to learn the answer to these questions:

--Can I get paid if I start a nonprofit?

--How long will it take to incorporate the organization?

--How many people need to be on a board?

--How do I know if I will like running a nonprofit?

--How do nonprofits differ from for-profit organizations?

With over 1200 nonprofits in San Luis Obispo County it is important to understand the competition, partnership and culture of the local nonprofit sector. This class is an important first step for anyone considering starting a nonprofit organization. Spokes’ mission is to empower nonprofits to achieve their mission.

Facilitated by: Dennis Baker, CEO of DM Baker Media Relations. 

Dennis Baker is a private consultant who works with Spokes to assist nonprofits to operate better. Some of his experience includes marketing and publicity, brand management, and fund development. Dennis is an expert in setting up new nonprofit organizations and understands the obvious and hidden details of doing so. In this workshop, he will cover the basics of what a nonprofit organization is and help you determine if this is the correct business model for you.
