RESOURCES FOR STARTING AND LEADING A NONPROFIT
The Alliance for Nonprofit Impact is Rhode Island's resource hub for nonprofits
Whether you are just considering forming a nonprofit, or you are looking for best practices to build organizational resilience and sustainability, here are some good starting points. We also encourage members to join the Alliance HQ Learning Community Forums on these types of topics, so you can ask questions of your peers and share resources that have been helpful in your work.
