2. Define your
mission
First, you have to decide what
cause your charity will serve.
Naming your charity is important as
that will be the first impression that
anyone has of your charity.

3. Having a plan for your charity is integral to
making your vision happen. Make sure that
your charity has a clearly defined goal and
feasible ways to meet that goal, including
realistic timelines, budgets, and campaigns.

charity

4. File for
tax-
exempt
status
Operating as a non-profit will afford your
charity tax breaks and will help your funds go
to the cause that you are helping. Be sure to
hire legal help to ensure that you are following
all the guidelines needed to qualify your
charity as a non-profit.

5. Fundraising
To start a charity, you’ll
need capital. Fundraising
for your charity’s cause is
the main goal, but you also
need to secure funds for
the basic operations that
your charity will go through
on a daily basis.
Elect an
advisory board
Find people with non-profit
experience to help you launch
your charity. As your charity
grows, expand the board to
include major donors and
those with contacts that can
help your charity develop
further.
Start your charity’s
operations
Make sure that you have
enough capital to support your
charity’s expected daily work
for about a year. Your charity
should be able to begin
fundraising and supporting
your cause as soon as
operations begin.

6. Marketing
Marketing is crucial to a charity.
Social media, email campaigns,
and community outreach will
help spread your message and
garner support for your cause.
Creating a website where
people can access information
about your charity and what it
does is key.
