The goal of the panel is to inform people on how they can get involved in the social sector— whether it’s by serving on a nonprofit Board, volunteering in a meaningful way, or starting your own nonprofit. Individuals will learn about how to effectively volunteer, what serving on a Board entails, tips on nonprofit tax management, and the path to social entrepreneurship.

Panelists:

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Volunteering: how to effectively volunteer, whether it’s for half a day or half a decade
  • Board of Directors:
    • How to best serve (from the Board member side)
    • How to best manage the board (from the nonprofit side)
  • Social entrepreneurship: what it takes to build your own nonprofit and how to scale impact when you’re still a growing organization
  • Nonprofit partnerships: when does it make sense?
  • Taxes: the 501(c)3 application, follow-up applications, and the responsibilities. Tax information will also be included about how to claim your tax deductible donations.
