• Conflicts Facing Nonprofit Organizations
• Overview of the Program
• How the Program Works
• Getting Started
• Q&A
– As of July 2009 there were over 1.5 Million
       registered organizations in the U.S.,
       including:
            • Public Charities
            • Private Foundations
            • Other or Unknown Nonprofits

•   Source: IRS Business Master File (BMF) (July 2009), Urban Institute National Center for Charitable Statistics(NCCS)
• The recent economic downturn increased
  the demand for nonprofit services, while
  increasing financial constraints.

• Specifically, startup organizations are in a
  struggle to obtain the startup funding
  necessary to instill strong foundation and
  administrative basics.
• Raising money to support its operations and
  programs is usually the most difficult task
  that any not-for-profit organization faces.

    So, where does that leave nonprofits?

  To shifting the focus for heavily on:
   • Building Relationships
   • Recruiting Volunteers
   • Motivating & Retaining
   • Identifying & Allocating Funds
•Fundraising for Capacity Building:
  – Would you build a house without a
    foundation?
  – If you don’t have the basics in place - a
    strategic plan, web presence, marketing,
    grant campaign, accounting systems- you
    have nothing to build your programs upon.
  – As you start out, it is important to ensure your
    organization’s future success by investing in
    critical capacity building initiatives early on.
• Unfortunately, many startup nonprofits do not
  have the funds or expertise to obtain the
  necessary business fundamentals such as:
  –   501c3 IRS Tax Exemption
  –   State Exemption
  –   A Strategic Plan
  –   Grant Funding
  –   A Web site
  –   Bookkeeping
  –   Marketing Collateral
• CharityNet USA has developed the “10x10”
  program specifically for startup & early-stage
  nonprofit organizations.

• We can help you raise the funds to invest in
  these essential business fundamentals!

• More specifically, if given a 100% effort by
  your organization you can raise…
$10,000
    in
10 Weeks!
It’s Simple…
   The program works by providing your
    nonprofit with an achievable plan for
    success over a 10 week period.
   This will include multiple fundraising
    events designed to raise money and
    build awareness of your organization!
• You will begin the
  process by completing
  our nonprofit review
  form.
•   We assess what critical elements are
    needed to build a solid foundation for
    future growth of your organization.
•   These items may include:
    •   Obtaining 501c3 Status
    •   Developing a Strategic Plan
    •   Building a Website
• We will place each of the identified
  items into a different phase, with a goal
  to achieve it during the 10 x 10 timeline.
• Example:
  – Phase 1: By the end of phase one your organization
    should begin paperwork to file for 501c3 tax
    exemption and begin the process of building your
    website.
  – Phase 2: By the end of phase two it is critical to file
    for 501c3 status by the IRS.
• Each phase is accompanied by a simple
  fundraising event that is already planned
  out with easy to follow steps and ready for
  your organization to conquer.
• Once you implement and complete the
  event you will return to us for the next phase
  of the program.
• A portion of the funds raised in the previous
  phase, will then be put toward the
  fundamentals identified for that specific
  phase.
• Before you begin
  executing each phase
  of the 10 x 10 program
  you should begin by
  organizing a core
  fundraising team.
• Car Wash

• Sports Event

  – Planning: 2 Weeks
  – ROI Goal: $5,000
  – Timeframe: Execute by Week 10
• At the end of the program you will not only
  have raised the necessary funds to support
  your organization, but you will also have
  taken the critical steps to raising
  awareness and growing
  capital for your
  organization.
