Big mission. Smart decisions. Real conversation about launching a nonprofit.

Join community–minded residents and early-stage nonprofit leaders for an interactive discussion focused on the core question: should you start a nonprofit? This roundtable, facilitated by the Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center’s resident mentor, helps you explore what a nonprofit is, how it differs from a traditional business, what it truly takes to operate one, and whether forming a nonprofit is the best pathway for the impact you want to make. You will also look at alternative ways to serve the community, common startup requirements, and the local support systems that can guide you.

Seating is limited, please RSVP in advance.

  • Gain clarity on what defines a nonprofit and how it is structured
  • Understand how nonprofits differ from for-profit businesses in purpose, funding, leadership, and regulations
  • Learn the steps involved in starting a nonprofit, including mission development, governance, and state and federal filings
  • Explore other ways to create community impact without forming a nonprofit
  • Ask questions and hear practical insights from others exploring similar ideas
  • Connect with a supportive group of people who care about making a difference

Highlights:

  • Free event, no membership required

  • Open to anyone exploring or starting a nonprofit

  • Practical, discussion-based format

  • Supportive and welcoming environment

  • Hosted at the Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center with light refreshments

    Networking
