THE LIST of Needs--and Links to find the information. . .
There are a number of items that EVERY nonprofit needs help with–research has told us what they are. Although there are slightly less than one million nonprofits in the United States, the number of groups utilizing the umbrella coverings could be as high as three million! Every organization and church needs basically the same things! The following list has been compiled and will be constantly changed and updated to help you make the search for information easier and more focused. Having spent more than a combined total of 165 years working in the industry, we have listed contacts and relationships that we have developed over the years to let you know a starting place to go to for help in working with people who are fairly priced, have the right heart, and are confident that they will treat you right.
We look for people who are like-minded and have kindred spirits for serving the servants in the faith-based and community organizations.. We refer the following because they are good folks doing good work. However, we suggest that you do some due diligence and talk to them, google their information, and ask them the questions you need to ask BEFORE working with them. And don’t forget to tell them that you found them through Artful Askers! However, to protect our integrity, you must be aware that we receive NO financial renumeration for refering you to them--only the satisfaction and fulfillment of knowing that we helped you to help yourself.
If you or your organization would like to be listed in this section, call and let’s get to know each others’ hearts. Maybe you belong here! Bless you as you serve. Please don’t hesitate to call if we can help.
For your ease, the sub-categories are listed in alphabetical order by most common name of need–the referrals are then listed underneath with links where possible to another site OR e-mail address to send an inquiry. Please print this page out and then spend some time searching for what you need.
