Learn exactly what it takes to launch a thriving nonprofit with Amy Wynn at Northwest Startup's free seminar - Nonprofit Ninjas

05/30/2026

Here's something a lot of aspiring nonprofit founders don't realize: starting a nonprofit isn't just about having a great cause. It's about building the right structure around that cause so it can actually survive and grow. 🌱

Without the right foundation — governance, funding strategy, board structure — even the most passionate organizations struggle to get off the ground.

That's exactly what Nonprofit Ninjas is designed to fix.

On June 17th, Amy Wynn will guide you through what it really takes to build a nonprofit that thrives — from the paperwork and bylaws to grants and long-term sustainability.

FREE seminar. Free dinner. The Norfolk Hub, Norfolk CT.

What's holding you back from starting your nonprofit?

For most people it's not the mission — it's the maze. Where do you even begin? What's a 501(c)(3) and do you actually need one? How do you find your first board members? How do you fund something before it's off the ground?

These are the exact questions Amy Wynn answers at Nonprofit Ninjas — our FREE seminar on June 17th at The Norfolk Hub in Norfolk, CT.

Amy brings over 40 years of nonprofit experience, including founding the NW CT Arts Council and leading The American Mural Project. She's been where you're trying to go, and she'll show you the way.

Free to attend. Dinner provided. Don't wait — register now 👇

Here's the truth about AI marketing: it's not the tool that's the problem. It's using it without a human strategy behind it.

When AI-generated content replaces your voice instead of supporting it, your marketing stops converting. Customers can feel the difference.

That's exactly what we're tackling at Skip the Slop: Marketing for Humans on May 26th. Expert Sarah Blecher will show you how to use AI smartly — while keeping the authenticity that makes your business worth following.

It's free. Dinner's on us. Come learn with your community. 🍽️
