“Recognizing a Need and Starting a Nonprofit”

Program 11:00 AM - Noon
(Meeting link will be emailed)

Join us in January for an inspiring conversation with Jeremy Harrell, a U.S. Army Combat Veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Global War on Terrorism and later founded the Veteran’s Club INC. After returning from Iraq, he recognized the certain needs for returning veterans: connection with other veterans, vocational skills development, and specific programs for women veterans.

How does an individual recognize a need in their community and develop a nonprofit from the ground up? What are some critical tips for success with fundraising, community alliances, and program development? Jeremy’s experiences starting the Veteran’s Club INC. will inform many aspects of our roles in nonprofit fundraising.
