- Build a Grant-Ready Foundation: Create the 4 essential "must-have" planning documents that professional funders look for.
- Unlock Funding Streams: Discover diverse ways to fuel your mission, from public grants to private donations.
- Protect Your Tax-Exempt Status: Learn how to avoid the common pitfalls and "red flag" activities that put your organization at risk.
- Simplify Compliance: Understand exactly which IRS returns you need to file so you can stay focused on your mission, not on paperwork.
