I no some things about starting a non profit. I now have a better understanding about it after viewing the short clips

By Nancy Coralean Archie on 9/27/2024

Works for me as I am researching how to create, manage and maintain a non-profit. The focus of the organization would be to provide visual arts experiences.

By Anonymized User on 1/19/2024

This is excellent, really clear, and concise, and I like the pace that it moves through everything. A fantastic overview that gives you plenty of quality information to get started, but it's not too much information that you feel overwhelmed.

By John Ojimba on 7/14/2023

I found this course very good for anyone who wants to get into business non-profit-The short course makes you understand in simplistic business language on how to make your business come true

By Brina Doyle on 2/22/2023

Straight forward and a great overview. The delivery of the information isn't overwhelming and points students in a solid direction of how to get things up and running. Very satisfied with the course.

By Kari L Hodges on 8/23/2021

Way too quick and way too brief on topic. Trying to sell other courses to get more information. Says this is just an overview

By E B on 6/15/2021

Good overview of information on how to start the process of establishing a nonprofit organization

By Bryan Weiner on 12/13/2020

It was short and didn't go very much in depth (although it was advertised that way). However, the information was clear, simple, and laid out well.

By Ricardo McFarlane on 10/8/2020

It does lead you in the right direction and gives you some good pathways. I gave it 3.5 stars only because the information is more of an overview.
