Organization description:
Changing Gears NPO is a community resource for those who have social service programs they want to provide but are not sure they want or need their own NPO. Our agreement will set them up for success and allow them to easily terminate the agreement as they transition to their own 501(c)(3) or end the project. Changing Gears NPO is a service-based organization whose staff have two decades of administrative experience, a decade of government experience and graduate-level education in nonprofit management.
