My Dream....
5 months ago
has always been to reach out to people. To challenge, inspire, and instigate people. I always joke when I speak publicly and insist that my anointing in life is to ‘Comfort the Afflicted and Afflict the Comfortable’. Not only is it a passion of mine, I want to build my life around serving people and promoting a better world. Recently, I completely organized an event- money, people, phone calls, organization, placement, marketing, etc. I was solely responsible for raising close to $1000 in 2 weeks. One can surmise that this isn’t the easiest of tasks.
What I found as I marketed this event that people, businesses, churches, and organizations were much more willing to write checks to another organization or non-profit than just a person. Unfortunately, the money had to go through Me or else it wouldn’t get to the numerous places it had to go.
Not only would starting a non-profit help me with donations and money moving, it would legitimize my cause and effectively open up more avenues of influence. It’s my goal in the next few months to set up a non-profit organization, most likely an LLC, in the State of Tennessee and begin utilizing it in the fullest sense.
ADDITION- If you’re interested in helping me file, helping me pay for the filing Fees, filling out paper work, organizing or just random advice PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me at Jordacity@gmail.com

llong is growing slowly but surely
....but it’s highly worth it! My goal was to work in urban education, so I wrote the business plan, got the required paperwork approved by the city and state goverment, created a Board of Trustees, and started hiring. Now two years later, I’m running a large (> $4 million) and more importantly successful non-profit.
Doing Good work well is Heaven.

My city has no comprehensive food security policy. I want to change that. It will be tricky, because there are lots of people with a stake in this particular area of “poverty alleviation” (not that they’re making much headway in alleviating poverty, of course)... I think that the solution is to create a non-profit lobbying group that pushes hard for policy that it then ensures is put into practice, to the benefit of all hungry people.

I have the ideas. The proposal letter is written. The business cards are made. My staff is made up.
The confidence isn’t there.
Same story. Different day.

I’m an American citizen living in a foreign country, and I want to start an International NPO. I found plenty of resources for starting an NPO in the States, but so far, nothing for starting one Internationally. Does anyone have any resources where I can find out what legal steps I need to take to set up an International NPO?
Thanks,
Ayliea
