How to Start and Efficiently Manage a Non-Profit Making Organisation (CSOs, NGOs, CBOs or FBOs)

This course is intended to be a reality check for anyone looking to start a non-profit making organization. There are so many misconceptions about what it really means to run a non-profit making organization, which is why so many fail before they ever get started.

The objective of this course is to provide some valuable insights on what it takes to start a non-profit making organization and effectively manage it.

It requires a lot more than a good idea.
