Starting a nonprofit organization? Need a board of directors? Here’s how to create a nonprofit board application that attracts GREAT board members. #Nonprofit #leadership #Nonprofits

I work full time for the 501c3 nonprofit I started many years ago and recruiting great board members was a key part of making the organization a success. Having a solid board of directors will be critical in figuring out how to start a nonprofit organization, especially if you’re starting a nonprofit with no money first. When we instituted a special board of directors application to recruit new board members, we found some amazing talent in our community that translated into passionate board members!

If you are starting a 501c3 charitable organization, thinking about it, or know someone who is trying to start a nonprofit, I hope this helps!
