Cost to attend the workshop

The cost for one person to attend the workshop is $75, which includes refreshments and a copy of the How to Start a Nonprofit Organization in Maryland manual. Each attendee must register and pay the fee. 

The more the merrier! If someone from your organization has already paid the full price for the same workshop, additional attendees from the same organization may sign up for a discounted rate! After the first person has registered, you will receive a promo code in your email confirmation which will allow you to to register additional persons from the organization for $35 each if they want to attend the workshop without their own copy of the book.

Registration to this online seminar will end Monday, April 1 to allow time for attendees to receive a mailed copy of the How to Start Manual.

Cancellations and Refunds

No requests for refunds will be granted within 48 hours of the workshop. If you, or your designee, do not attend the workshop you signed up for, the fee is non-refundable. We do encourage you to send another member of your organization in your place if you are unable to attend.
