This one is for all of you aspiring nonprofit founders. In this episode, we serve up a hefty dose of reality about what it takes to found and run a successful nonprofit organization. News flash: running a nonprofit is actually running a small business. We speak with new founder, Kenneth Brown, about everything he’s learned in the first year of his nonprofit and Andrea Ortega who helps founders establish 501c3s. We chat about how much time is spent on fundraising, how to deal with rejection and the reality of funding (spoiler alert: grant money will not fall out of the sky into your lap). This is an important one if you’re thinking about starting up a nonprofit of your own.
