How to start a 501(c)(3) for your local In Bloom program

Many America in Bloom communities dream of taking their local efforts to the next level by forming a nonprofit organization. But figuring out how to actually do it can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What does it cost? Who should be involved? How do you keep it running smoothly once it’s formed?

 

Join America In Bloom for a free webinar on May 19 at noon to walk you through the process of creating a 501(c)(3) from the ground up, giving you practical steps to bring your community’s vision to life.

 

You will learn:

  • The key steps and paperwork involved in setting up your nonprofit
  • How to structure your board and bylaws for success
  • Typical costs and timelines to expect
  • Tips for managing and sustaining your new organization long-term

 

Whether you’re just exploring the idea or ready to take action, this session will demystify the process and give you the confidence (and checklist!) to move forward.

 

This webinar will be presented by Craig Baldridge of Shawnee Hills, Ohio. You will hear the story of how Shawnee Hills Blooms became a reality and the lessons they learned along the way. Join America In Bloom to discover how forming a nonprofit can help your community bloom bigger, brighter and better.
