transformation. A non profit organization (NPO) is also called as foundations or
endowments which have large stock funds. As these NPO’s are all recent

where you are going to setting up a non profit organization. Decide on
the location from where you are going to operate. Then identify the recipient for
your planned non profit organization. You should be intentional about the choice
between rich, poor, urban, rural, remote, accessible for the location you
selected. The next step is to identify a name for your non profit organization.
The name should be such that it is easy and it conveys the meaning and value of
the planned non profit organization. It is important to take
realistic and practical initiative in setting up a NPO. Before setting up a
non profit organization it is essential to decide what specific issues you
are going to address. The issues to be addressed may be poverty, human rights,
peace, illiteracy, good governance etc. If they are interrelated issues then it
can be addressed together by your NPO. Then you have to analyze the social
situation of the place before taking up an issue. Check if there is any existing
NPO’s that is addressing the same issue you are planning to address. Then if
there is any existing NPO then it is better to join the existing NPO and serve.
