Thanks so much for your videos, Amber! I am just starting my nonprofit, Butterfly Baskets. Our mission is to support women and their families who are experiencing pregnancy loss or baby loss. Your videos have been very helpful!

What a beautiful cause! I'm so glad the videos have helped. If you think of other topics I should cover in a video let me know!

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Start by creating a fundraising plan with a dollar goal and an explanation of how the money will help your community goal.

If you could recommend one book that has made the most impact on your journey what would it be?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Ahhh there have been many! Perhaps 'Switch' by Chip and Dan Heath.

How long does it take, on average, before you can pay employees? I'm interested in starting a non-profit, but I also have bills, as does my team. Lol. What are some recommendations that you have for folks wanting to dedicate time to starting a nonprofit, but needing to generate income as well?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Hey there! That varies a lot by how fast you can fundraise, AND get board approval by vote to hire staff. :) Here's another video all about this topic: "You CAN get paid for Nonprofit work, but there’s a catch" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6ileKOdi7R5hrM

[@christcommanded7097]

what would you say about google ads grant $10,000 a month

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

It's an in-kind grant, which means they are not giving you cash, they are giving you a service worth $10,000. It is good but you need someone to help you set up google ads / analytics.
