How do you start a non for profit charity? - Smurfette - 11-09-2012 07:59 PM
My daughter is interested in helping Orangutans. She is wondering if she could start her own organization to help them. Is there any information on how she can do this.Keep in mind that she is 11 years old. Someone please help me help her, so she can follow her dream and save these beautiful animals.

She is too young to start her own organization. Even for an adult there are two many rules and regulations to start your own charity organization.
To start your own nonprofit organization you need to follow following:

Since, she is only 11 years old, you have to do work on her behalf. You can create a free fundraising page on http://www.connecttocharity.com/ for her favorite charity and you have the option of using social media platform like Facebook Aps to promote and raise fund for it. The more you have in your social circle the more chances will be of raising fund. Invite your friends and relatives to help you to achieve your goal through it. If you wish to support existing charities you can also make donation through Connect To Charity.
