We know that in the nonprofit world, starting up and starting over can be confusing and overwhelming. Where do you begin? How do you make sure you're legal? And when the world is calling for a new approach, how do you undertake a major revamp? QENO will soon be launching a support program to help nonprofit leaders (and leaders-to-be) navigate these questions.
