We all have different ways that we prefer to learn and work. If you're thinking about starting a U.S. charitable nonprofit and you prefer to do it yourself with information and ongoing access to a trainer and coach, consider a membership in The Nonprofit Founders' Circle.

If the world of nonprofits is new for you, you may feel stuck--uncertain how to start the one you've wanted to launch for ages.
