Question:
Hello Advisor,
My name is Frank Wieman and I live in Lorain, Ohio.
I am in the process of starting a non profit foundation with as main objective "share the power of sports for underprivileged children!". Because I believe sport can help children to improve themselves both physical as mental. They can learn life long skills. That's why I am very enthusiastic about this. I am new to the non profit sector and encountered the Community Toolbox. This looks very sophisticated and well maintained! At the other hand I have difficulties about where to start, it looks overwhelming to me. Here does my question appear.
Please can you tell me how I can use the Community Toolbox or where to start? Do I need everything? If not, what do I need? If you would like to have an idea what our foundation is about please visit www.spsuc.org .
Thank you very much for your time!

Answer:
Hi Frank, and thanks for contacting CTB.
Let me refer you first to A Model for Getting Started, found under the Help Taking Action graphic. That will give you an overview that will help you determine where to look next. There is a lot of information within CTB, and it can indeed feel overwhelming. Ask yourself specific questions about what you need to know next, and refer to the Table of Contents. That will lead you to relevant chapters and toolkits. Use the Search box to assist you when needed. Also, look for similar efforts under the Connect With Others graphic; knowing about other similar efforts can lead to useful idea exchange.
