## Resource

Most of you were never told the full truth about what you're actually starting when you launch a nonprofit organization. You were told about making a difference, serving your community, and even been told about grants and fundraising. But very few people explained that you're not just starting a mission. You're building an organization. And there's a big difference between the two.
