How do I create a non-profit organization in Second Life?

Question

I want people to be able to donate also.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're asking.  Are you wanting to start a non profit in a place called Second Life, or is it a non profit called Second Life?  To create a non profit is a pretty daunting process, and I always tell people to check their area and see if there is someone else already doing what you want to do that you can partner with.  This is good because you can pool resources, and they will already have a structure in place for you to work with.  if you're determined to do this, you can go to www.foundationcenter.org.  They help people start non profits, and they don't charge.  They may have a foundation library near you, if not, they do classes online.

Answer 4

You can have donations with tip jars. they can be found in almost any freebie place. look around GamersBrand freebies.

It really depends on what type of work you're gonna be doing. so it can be easily set up. You dont need a real life business or anything like that. You can just buy some land, set up your building and do what ever it is you plan to do and set up donation boxes/tip jars.

it would really help to know what your non-profit organization does. if its freebies, then theres plenty of examples in the game

Answer 5

Your nonprofit must exist in REAL LIFE for it to be allowed in Second Life. So, unless you represent a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, you cannot create a profile on Second Life for your "organization."
