Trying to put together a Non-Profit Business Plan

Veteran

Richard Stachurski Saint Joseph , MI

I am looking for a good template to start creating my non-profit business plan. I have googled the internet and found numerous different types. Not sure if anyone out there would suggest one over the other. Thanks

Also consider starting with a Lean Canvas, rather than a full blown business plan.

I've used bPlans - think it costs about 20 bucks/month..but you can cancel after you build your plan. http://www.bplans.com/

I don't have a template to recommend, per se, but just want to make sure you are aware that there are many resources for getting legal help to start your non-profit. I'm in Chicago, and I used the services of the Loyola Business Law Clinic for free to incorporate and set up a 501(c)(3).
