Do you recognize a need in your community not being met? Are you inspired to make a difference and create social change? Whether you’ve decided or not, starting to write a business plan will help you narrow the details and start to assess the viability of your idea. A business plan will help you to understand costs, outline potential risks, as well as how you’ll manage cash flow for your non-profit.

To help you get started we’ve created a non-profit example business plan for the service industry. Our example focuses on an organization providing educational services to both consumers and businesses, but it will work as a framework regardless of your non-profit’s area of focus. Click the ‘Download Tool’ button to gain access to the word document.

You can also find the same example in the Business Plan Writer, our free online tool that guides you through the process of starting your business. Just select “non-profit” as your industry when you register.

Good luck and happy writing!
