Hi my name is Scott and I am the founder of Ocean Grand. Many years ago I created the
Ocean Grand organization because I continually ran into those that needed a simple resource
to take the confusion out of starting and running a successful nonprofit. There are
hundreds of articles on the web that instruct people on the steps, but few that actually
take them through the steps. In addition, it seemed to me that most people wanting to
do nonprofit work needed a simple sign-up process and then continued steps to fund and
then run their nonprofit. While it is true that there are several ways to set up, fund,
and run a nonprofit, there are simpler ways than others to actually do these steps. I
wanted to give people a resource that helped them get their nonprofit dreams launched in
a way that was the simplest and least expensive. If you want a simple, easy and effective
way to start, fund and run a nonprofit, then I want to show you a way to do it in three
simple steps.
I want to take a couple of minutes and explain what makes Ocean Grand so unique in the nonprofit
world and why we have been able to help thousands around the world in quickly setting up a nonprofit.
One thing I promise I will not do on this video is give you a generic list of "To Do"
items on how to start a nonprofit like 1. Incorporate in your state" etc. Instead of
lists, we offer real information and real help in how to start a nonprofit organization.
One of the most common question we get is why does everyone say we should download your
Simple Nonprofit package to help us set up our nonprofit?
WE HELP OVERCOME 3 COMMON HURDLES Well, there are 3 common hurdles that people
and organizations face when they start nonprofit work.
1ST HURDLE The 1st and possibly the largest of the challenges
is "how do I get my nonprofit set up?" How long is that going to take? or even how much
is it going to cost?
Typically, tax exempt nonprofits cost several thousand dollars to get set up and many months
of waiting for the approval. Even if you could find an attorney to set up the corporation
pro-bono there filing fees to the Irs that are close to $1000.
However, one of the reasons that many come to Ocean Grand is that we can help you get
a fully functioning tax exempt 501c3 nonprofit set up for under $400 and a few weeks of waiting.
I promised not to go through the to do list of things to set up a nonprofit but we get
phone calls everyday from people who have been trying to set up a nonprofit for years.
They have a great nonprofit idea and they have the heart and passion to do the nonprofit
work but they just have not been able to figure out how to get or afford to get the nonprofit
set up.
We take care of that for you and can walk you though the process of setting up a nonprofit
so you can get onto doing the nonprofit work you want to do.
2ND HURDLE- FUNDING The second reason we get phone calls and the
second hurdle that most face when setting up and running a nonprofit is how do I find
funding? What does that look like? Can and how do I do grantwriting? How do I get my
image and marketing created and polished so that my nonprofit is attractive to donors
and corporations to want to donate? How do you make that image all come together in a
nice consistent package so that you and others can be proud of.
Then, How do I find and maintain donors? Whether that be those that can fund through grants,
individual donors, or corporations that would want to donate to your nonprofit. How do you
find and maintain donors that can successfully fund everything your nonprofit does?
We help you will all of that and step you right thorough the process of the difficult
challenge of fundraising.
3RD HURDLE- Administration The 3rd challenge that nonprofits have is
how do I maintain the administration of the nonprofit? The paperwork along can be daunting
including employees, payroll, accounting, filing quarterly and end of the year reports,
to independent audits.
How do I set up all that while still having time to run the nonprofit projects and fundraise?
Many come to us who have a great heart and passion to do nonprofit work but running a
company is just overwhelming. They tell us "I am not really that type of person that
would be good running a nonprofit, I just want to do the field work for the nonprofit.
Others come to us who are worn out from the years of doing administration for a nonprofit
and are looking for a better way.
We can help you set up a nonprofit that is easy to run, simple to maintain, and even
you, no matter who you are and what your background is can run a successful nonprofit.
A NONPROFIT THAT IS EASY TO RUN We address these three hurdles by giving you
an easy and simple way to set up a nonprofit. Then once set up running and maintaining that
nonprofit is simple and easy. Many times the nonprofit can be set up inside of several
weeks. We can help you gain an education on grantwriting and donor involvement that is
laser focused and easy to master. We make it real simple and easy so that you can maintain
the funding your nonprofit is going to need in an ongoing basis.
Then the way in which you start the nonprofit organization can provide you with a group
of people that can take care of all the administration. That frees you and your staff up fto be involved
with the ongoing tasks of your nonprofit, running your nonprofit and doing the actual
programs, which is the fun part of it. Leaving all the bookwork and back office paperwork
to a group of experts.
We simplify the process of setting up and running a successful nonprofit and have helped
thousands around the world with their nonprofit.
