Does New York Require Another Charitable?

[Staunton]

A lot of region organizations occur, nevertheless they never replace lost IDis, supply telephone units for companies to contact buyers(in terms of I recognize). It seems in my encounter that people with careers would not have the spare time to check out meals banks, and may well not be eligible for the applications accessible. Compared to missions appear to have, I also have a lot significantly less empathy for individuals with jail or drug-connected problems. I've been managing a non-profit unofficially for about 8 weeks. It just sort of began when my daughter and I acquired a reputation to be helpful.Our slogan is "Bridging the Gap" given that there are many great individuals not being presented. Personally I think that possibly the most worthy and needy folks will be the least attained. and the actually fantastic programs inside our region be seemingly maxed-out currently. Does one more meals / clothing bank is necessary by NC? Do you think about beginning an additional charity is just a waste of time? or not?

It would seem to me that... ...if you are getting plenty of clients then your efforts are indeed bridging a previously unbridged gap. So that would tell you that your vision is needed. In looking at our own community I notice that there are more needy folks than our current non-profits can reach, so another organization could be helpful but only if it could find a new source of funding and donations.However, a lot of nonprofits come and go every year because it is hard to do all the paperwork, follow all the rules, avoid liability, continue to get funding, and do the actual work. Sometimes it is easier to create a project or program within another organization rather than spending your time and energy establishing a new organization. So, before you decide to create a new, separate nonprofit, talk with existing nonprofits that have goals similar to yours. If you have already done that and found that there is no umbrella organization willing to include your project, then by all means go ahead with your non-profit.This is how Jon Pratt(executive director of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits) put it in Common Ground, July/Aug ?01:"Establishing a new nonprofit corporation and maintaining the required administrative, regulatory, legal, and financial support can be very difficult. Funding a nonprofit on a long?term basis is also a big challenge, especially with funders? growing concern about duplication. Before you decide to create a new, separate nonprofit, we suggest that you talk with existing nonprofits that have goals similar to yours. First consider creating a project or program within another organization rather than spending your time and energy to establish a whole new entity. Many nonprofits begin and end without ever achieving their vision. Can you achieve yours without starting a new organization? 1. Become a volunteer, board member, or even a staff member with a nonprofit already active in your area. 2. Identify three nonprofits most compatible with your ideas. Explore creating a special project or initiative ? and negotiate your involvement. 3. Look at national organizations working in your area of interest and start a local chapter. 4. If your effort will be quite local and small, form an unincorporated association or club. Have meetings and activities, but skip the reporting requirements if your annual budget stays under $25,000. 5. If you want to finance scholarships, family emergency funds, or others? activities and needs, establish a fund at a community foundation or organization. So, if you are getting clients, if no other organization will let you do the same thing through them, and if you have no problem getting funding, then by all means, North Carolina can tolerate another non-profit.

If it is your passion helping people and you see a need that is not being met then go for it! And thanks for being such a great advocate for those that need help, it is especially important in tough economic times as more and more people/families are affected. God bless
