Non-profit organizations are subject to all the same debt collection practices as for-profit organizations.\n\nHowever, there are ways to structure an organization to protect it from some debt collection practices.  For instance, a large donor could set up a trust that pays the non-profit a little at a time instead of one huge lump sum.  Side corporations could be set up to own the non-profit's equipment and the non-profit could lease the equipment from these entities.  \n\nFor planning specific to your situation, consult both a lawyer and an accountant.

Why not start by writing ur local Congress representative? Also, many charities have crises & family grants & loans. Try getting info. abt ur local ones from ur local social worker/ advice centre.

Some examples of important Nongovernmental Organizations include The Red Cross and Red Crescent, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and Doctors Without Borders.  All of these are international organizations.  Check out http://docs.lib.duke.edu/igo/guides/ngo/ for a list of nongovernmental organizations.  You can browse a full list, or lists based on geography, the issues they with, and other options.\n\nAs for the direct contact addresses, it would be best to visit the websites of some of the NGOs, and look on the site for a link that gives contact information.  For the Red Cross, for example, it can be found here: http://www.redcross.org/contactus/

a PAC is something that directly lobbies and deals with politics, and can contribute limited money to political campaigns.  usually, non profit organizations can only lobby in a very limited way, and cannot support any political campaign.  there are all kinds of rules that limit what nonprofits can do.  i looked into it for my own idea a year or so ago, and i decided it wasnt worth the effort of either.  it takes a lot of time and some money to set up, and it just wasnt what i had in mind.  for your purposes, the PAC might work, but i say dont waste your time organizing, and spend that on actually working for your cause.

Yea.. There are good NGO's in India, as well as other places, where you can work. Alternatively, you can join unesco and other organisation. And most important, its a good carrer to help out the society. That's real nice and satisfactory thing.

Well. Put a project plan and apporach any certified NGO who probably can fund the plan. But you seriously need to have good plan before you can convince anybody.

I suggest you contact non profit organizations in your area and inquire whether a Grameen Bank of operation is in place in your region. Then inquire how your community can access those funds.\n\nGrameen started in Bangladesh, and I know it's been replicated in various countries from India to Philippines\n\nRead about Grameen Bank http://www.grameen-info.org/

The Foundation Center has a number of free resources for starting a nonprofit organization.\n\nFrom the Foundation Center:  Forming a new nonprofit is a process that involves two distinct stages. Generally, you will need to establish your organization by filing articles of incorporation with the appropriate agency in your state (usually the secretary of state). You will also need to secure federal income tax exemption by filing the appropriate forms with the Internal Revenue Service. see whole article and list of resources, including an online tutorial about how to start a nonprofit at http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/starting_nonprofit.html\n\nThe IRS page with information for chaities/nonprofits is here: http://www.irs.gov/charities/index.html

Idealist.org seems to be a good clearinghouse of information about non profit sites.  That might be a good place to start.

I dont know how to start a charity, other than to start small and local, taking up collections of money, food, books, clothes, etc. and sending them to the Philippines. \nMaybe you can contact the red cross or similar organization and ask them what you can do to help get relief to people in your country? Things like fundraisers, clothing drives, rummage sales, etc. that you can organize and donate to the Philippines through red cross?\n\nI dont know much about the Philippines government, my only understanding is that it needs to change for things to get better. \n\nThese might seem like minor actions but to change the world, I guess you have to start somewhere, right?\n\nGood Luck.

Sorry! I am not aware of the time it takes in US to form a non- profit organisation however if ground work is done by you for official purpose 3 months might be sufficient. Your lawyer may help in giving exact information. firstly i suggest that you to form it at the place where you foresee to give your maximum time and energy and secondly it depends upon the issue which you are in interested to work for and the needs of that area with respect to those issues.

A non-profit organization is that, not  for profit. The money earned by the organization is often used for the public good.\nSome non-profits are tax-exempt and others are not. Tax exempt organizations must meet certian standards, and have goals, such as education, recreation, safety etc. that are in the public interest.\nAs for P. F. Druker, try and google him. I found many results.

NGO \nA non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is not part of a government and was not founded by states. NGOs are therefore typically independent of governments. Although the definition can technically include for-profit corporations, the term is generally restricted to social, cultural, legal, and environmental advocacy groups having goals that are primarily noncommercial. NGOs are usually non-profit organizations that gain at least a portion of their funding from private sources.\n\nBecause the label 'NGO' is considered too broad by some, as it might cover anything that is non-governmental, many NGOs now prefer the term private voluntary organization (PVO) or Private Development Organization (PDO).\n\nA 1995 UN report on global governance estimated that there are nearly 29,000 international NGOs. National numbers are even higher: The United States has an estimated 2 million NGOs, most of them formed in the past 30 years. Russia has 65,000 NGOs. India has 2 million NGOs. Dozens are created daily. In Kenya alone, some 240 NGOs come into existence every year.

There is some very useful information at the Foundation Center website.  The FAQ on how to establish a nonprofit organization is here at http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/starting_nonprofit.html  (or go to Get Started - FAQS from the main page).  The FAQ also lists resources for obtaining additional information.\n\nSee here for Boardsource resource on starting a nonprofit  http://www.boardsource.org/clientfiles/EBooks/Vision.pdf\n\nBest of luck to you!

To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants. \n\nThe first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from http://grants.gov/GetStarted \n\n1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number\n2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)\n3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives\n4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)\n\nYou will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant http://www.cfda.gov which is the federal database of all grants.\n\nBut whether you can find grants to allow you to start a  business is an entirely different matter. It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. Grants are generally given to support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments, and hardly to individuals for the purpose of starting a for-profit endeavor
