Hi my name is Scott and I am the founder of Ocean Grand. Many years ago I created the
-
Ocean Grand organization because I continually ran into those that needed a simple resource
-
to take the confusion out of starting and running a successful nonprofit. There are
-
hundreds of articles on the web that instruct people on the steps, but few that actually
-
take them through the steps. In addition, it seemed to me that most people wanting to
-
do nonprofit work needed a simple sign-up process and then continued steps to fund and
-
then run their nonprofit. While it is true that there are several ways to set up, fund,
-
and run a nonprofit, there are simpler ways than others to actually do these steps. I
-
wanted to give people a resource that helped them get their nonprofit dreams launched in
-
a way that was the simplest and least expensive. If you want a simple, easy and effective
-
way to start, fund and run a nonprofit, then I want to show you a way to do it in three
-
simple steps.
-
I want to take a couple of minutes and explain what makes Ocean Grand so unique in the nonprofit
-
world and why we have been able to help thousands around the world in quickly setting up a nonprofit.
-
One thing I promise I will not do on this video is give you a generic list of "To Do"
-
items on how to start a nonprofit like 1. Incorporate in your state" etc. Instead of
-
lists, we offer real information and real help in how to start a nonprofit organization.
-
One of the most common question we get is why does everyone say we should download your
-
Simple Nonprofit package to help us set up our nonprofit?
-
WE HELP OVERCOME 3 COMMON HURDLES Well, there are 3 common hurdles that people
-
and organizations face when they start nonprofit work.
-
1ST HURDLE The 1st and possibly the largest of the challenges
-
is "how do I get my nonprofit set up?" How long is that going to take? or even how much
-
is it going to cost?
-
Typically, tax exempt nonprofits cost several thousand dollars to get set up and many months
-
of waiting for the approval. Even if you could find an attorney to set up the corporation
-
pro-bono there filing fees to the Irs that are close to $1000.
-
However, one of the reasons that many come to Ocean Grand is that we can help you get
-
a fully functioning tax exempt 501c3 nonprofit set up for under $400 and a few weeks of waiting.
-
I promised not to go through the to do list of things to set up a nonprofit but we get
-
phone calls everyday from people who have been trying to set up a nonprofit for years.
-
They have a great nonprofit idea and they have the heart and passion to do the nonprofit
-
work but they just have not been able to figure out how to get or afford to get the nonprofit
-
set up.
-
We take care of that for you and can walk you though the process of setting up a nonprofit
-
so you can get onto doing the nonprofit work you want to do.
-
2ND HURDLE- FUNDING The second reason we get phone calls and the
-
second hurdle that most face when setting up and running a nonprofit is how do I find
-
funding? What does that look like? Can and how do I do grantwriting? How do I get my
-
image and marketing created and polished so that my nonprofit is attractive to donors
-
and corporations to want to donate? How do you make that image all come together in a
-
nice consistent package so that you and others can be proud of.
-
Then, How do I find and maintain donors? Whether that be those that can fund through grants,
-
individual donors, or corporations that would want to donate to your nonprofit. How do you
-
find and maintain donors that can successfully fund everything your nonprofit does?
-
We help you will all of that and step you right thorough the process of the difficult
-
challenge of fundraising.
-
3RD HURDLE- Administration The 3rd challenge that nonprofits have is
-
how do I maintain the administration of the nonprofit? The paperwork along can be daunting
-
including employees, payroll, accounting, filing quarterly and end of the year reports,
-
to independent audits.
-
How do I set up all that while still having time to run the nonprofit projects and fundraise?
-
Many come to us who have a great heart and passion to do nonprofit work but running a
-
company is just overwhelming. They tell us "I am not really that type of person that
-
would be good running a nonprofit, I just want to do the field work for the nonprofit.
-
Others come to us who are worn out from the years of doing administration for a nonprofit
-
and are looking for a better way.
-
We can help you set up a nonprofit that is easy to run, simple to maintain, and even
-
you, no matter who you are and what your background is can run a successful nonprofit.
-
A NONPROFIT THAT IS EASY TO RUN We address these three hurdles by giving you
-
an easy and simple way to set up a nonprofit. Then once set up running and maintaining that
-
nonprofit is simple and easy. Many times the nonprofit can be set up inside of several
-
weeks. We can help you gain an education on grantwriting and donor involvement that is
-
laser focused and easy to master. We make it real simple and easy so that you can maintain
-
the funding your nonprofit is going to need in an ongoing basis.
-
Then the way in which you start the nonprofit organization can provide you with a group
-
of people that can take care of all the administration. That frees you and your staff up fto be involved
-
with the ongoing tasks of your nonprofit, running your nonprofit and doing the actual
-
programs, which is the fun part of it. Leaving all the bookwork and back office paperwork
-
to a group of experts.
-
We simplify the process of setting up and running a successful nonprofit and have helped
-
thousands around the world with their nonprofit.
