Forming & Operating a Non-Profit Organization

Summary: Non-profit organizations are often political in nature, pushing for issues such as heath care and environmental regulation. However in this series, Expert Village will leave politics to the political action committees and instead focus our energies on issues very close to our heart: culture and education. As we turn the corner into the 21st century, non-profit groups throughout the country are striving to preserve the memory of the musicians, artists and writers who form the backbone of our cultural heritage. After watching this series of videos, you too will feel confident in lending your support by means of your own non-profit organization.

Our expert Jim Goettler has helped to found non-profit organizations all across the United States. In these free clips, he discusses mission statements, bylaws, budget planning and other nuts-and-bolts considerations for setting up your own NPO.
