  $26.00

  A large and growing number of congregations are setting up church-based nonprofit organizations in order to operate community development or educational programs. Once formed, the nonprofit structure allows for new opportunities for accessing additional funding and drawing new collaborative partners and volunteers into the ministry. Joy Skjegstad outlines the step-by-step procedures for setting up a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization connected to a congregation using simple, easy-to-understand terminology and plenty of examples from churches that have already taken on this task.

  In addition to accessible and specific information on the legal aspects of a church-based nonprofit, topics include:

  Why set up a nonprofit?
  Advantages and disadvantages to setting up a nonprofit
  Assessing readiness for the challenge
  Defining the nonprofit’s mission and niche
  Accountability and control
  Establishing a board structure and defining board roles
  Maintaining a positive relationship with the congregation
  Personnel issues
  Developing a fundraising plan
  Ongoing evaluation
  Whether a congregation is setting up new program or has an established nonprofit that needs to be restructured or redefined, congregations will find helpful guidance in this practical, experience-based book. Foreword by Mary Nelson, President, Bethel New Life, Inc., Chicago.
