Coming July 1, 2025: 90 Days to A New Nonprofit™ – A Clear Path from Idea to Impact You’ve got a vision for change—a nonprofit idea that keeps you up at night because you know the world needs it. But like so many others, you may find yourself stuck before you even start. The legal hurdles, the paperwork, the pressure to “get it right”—it all feels overwhelming.
Join us as we unpack a powerful new resource designed to change that. 90 Days to A New Nonprofit™ is a structured, founder-centered course launching July 1, 2025. It walks you through the entire process of launching a nonprofit—from validating your idea to filing your paperwork, building your board, defining your mission, and laying the foundation for long-term success. This isn’t just theory. It’s a step-by-step framework developed by nonprofit veteran Valerie F. Leonard, whose two decades of experience have helped nearly a thousand founders raise over $100 million.
The LEGACY™ Framework at the heart of this course is built on what actually works in the real world, with tools and guidance that simplify complex processes. In the video, we explore what makes this program so unique—from its weekly structure and practical templates to the support systems that keep you moving forward with confidence. Whether you're new to the sector or finally ready to stop spinning your wheels, this might be the clear starting point you've been waiting for.
If you’ve felt overwhelmed, uncertain, or just unsure of how to move forward with your nonprofit dream, this is your invitation to take that first confident step. We will be launching on July 1, 2025, with the first class starting July 18th. Learn more and get on the waitlist:https://bit.ly/4kyxIJF
