Nonprofit Vs. For-profit Workshop – Virtual via Zoom

PLEASE NOTE, this workshop will be delivered virtually, as part of the Hillsborough Community College InLab@HCC.

Due to security concerns, we will send a link 24 hours prior and again one hour prior to the workshop start date and time.

This workshop is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the differences between a nonprofit and a for-profit business as well as the essential elements to help start and grow a successful nonprofit. Workshop participants will understand the legal and practical considerations of taking a nonprofit start-up from vision to reality to becoming a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization and maintaining the status.
