5. – As of July 2009 there were over 1.5 Million
registered organizations in the U.S.,
including:
• Public Charities
• Private Foundations
• Other or Unknown Nonprofits
• Source: IRS Business Master File (BMF) (July 2009), Urban Institute National Center for Charitable Statistics(NCCS)

6. • The recent economic downturn increased
the demand for nonprofit services, while
increasing financial constraints.
• Specifically, startup organizations are in a
struggle to obtain the startup funding
necessary to instill strong foundation and
administrative basics.

7. • Raising money to support its operations and
programs is usually the most difficult task
that any not-for-profit organization faces.
So, where does that leave nonprofits?
To shifting the focus for heavily on:
• Building Relationships
• Recruiting Volunteers
• Motivating & Retaining
• Identifying & Allocating Funds

8. •Fundraising for Capacity Building:
– Would you build a house without a
foundation?
– If you don’t have the basics in place - a
strategic plan, web presence, marketing,
grant campaign, accounting systems- you
have nothing to build your programs upon.
– As you start out, it is important to ensure your
organization’s future success by investing in
critical capacity building initiatives early on.

10. • Unfortunately, many startup nonprofits do not
have the funds or expertise to obtain the
necessary business fundamentals such as:
– 501c3 IRS Tax Exemption
– State Exemption
– A Strategic Plan
– Grant Funding
– A Web site
– Bookkeeping
– Marketing Collateral

11. • CharityNet USA has developed the “10x10”
program specifically for startup & early-stage
nonprofit organizations.
• We can help you raise the funds to invest in
these essential business fundamentals!
• More specifically, if given a 100% effort by
your organization you can raise…

12. $10,000
in
10 Weeks!

13. It’s Simple…
 The program works by providing your
nonprofit with an achievable plan for
success over a 10 week period.
 This will include multiple fundraising
events designed to raise money and
build awareness of your organization!

14. • You will begin the
process by completing
our nonprofit review
form.

15. • We assess what critical elements are
needed to build a solid foundation for
future growth of your organization.
• These items may include:
• Obtaining 501c3 Status
• Developing a Strategic Plan
• Building a Website

16. • We will place each of the identified
items into a different phase, with a goal
to achieve it during the 10 x 10 timeline.
• Example:
– Phase 1: By the end of phase one your organization
should begin paperwork to file for 501c3 tax
exemption and begin the process of building your
website.
– Phase 2: By the end of phase two it is critical to file
for 501c3 status by the IRS.

17. • Each phase is accompanied by a simple
fundraising event that is already planned
out with easy to follow steps and ready for
your organization to conquer.
• Once you implement and complete the
event you will return to us for the next phase
of the program.
• A portion of the funds raised in the previous
phase, will then be put toward the
fundamentals identified for that specific
phase.

18. • Before you begin
executing each phase
of the 10 x 10 program
you should begin by
organizing a core
fundraising team.
