A Personal Guide for Building a Reach-type Organization
Do you need this site?
Reach Ottawa has developed this site to assist start-up initiatives
across Canada to understand what is required to build a successful
not-for-profit organisation. This site offers insights, examples, time
frames, and other considerations when forming an association. It helps to
provide a framework for your organisation.
Benefits of a Plan
The benefits of a carefully planned operating strategy are numerous.
Often, people rely solely on their intuition to make decisions for their
organisation. While this informal knowledge allows for flexibility, it may
not provide you with all the facts and data you need to achieve the best
results.
Your new organisation will need help with fundraising, accounting,
promotions, organisational structure, volunteers, budgeting, marketing,
communications, and more. It takes a visionary individual to co-ordinate
all the efforts, to know when a task is beyond their capabilities and to
have the confidence to ask for help.
This site explains the crucial steps required to achieve this community
resource. All of your questions will not be answered because of the
diversity of communities. However, this guide is a flexible plan that can
be customised to meet the specific needs of any geographic area in Canada.
