LINKS TO FINANCING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

It is important that a nonprofit organization be structurally prepared to handle the additional stress and change that starting a business can bring on. The resources here may help nonprofit entrepreneurs in addressing these needs as they move forward toward the creation of a successful enterprise.
