United Black Family Scholarship Foundation
DESCRIPTION: Every day, inside America's prisons countless volunteers from a growing number of nonprofit organizations sit down with incarcerated men and women to provide a variety of self-help, advocacy and educational programming. Without question, the services they provide are greatly needed and appreciated. We know without these change-makers, access to transformative experiences and tools much needed to become productive citizens would significantly diminish for our incarcerated citizens. Yet the question remains: do we dare empower them with the idea and wherewithal to become effective community leaders, nonprofit CEOs, and board members themselves? If not, what are we doing?
As such, we believe this to be the imperative of the day–that is, empowering America's incarcerated with the idea and wherewithal to become nonprofit CEOs, board members, etc.–because we can never have enough boots on the ground working to address the plethora of problems before our communities.
That said, as we prepare to launch our Annual Nonprofit Coaching & Leadership Training Conference, we are looking to collaborate with consultants in California and Oklahoma who are willing to volunteer to develop and teach workshops to incarcerated men and women. These workshops should include, but are not limited to:
How to register a nonprofit organization with state and federal agencies to obtain 501c3 tax exempt statusHow to create a nonprofitBuilding a Board of DirectorsTools and ResourcesHow to transition your program from prison to outside communitiesInterested?
