As part of the incorporation process, it is important to clearly lay out what the NPO hopes to accomplish and the means by which it will attain these goals. In the initial stages, keeping these goals relatively simple will lay the foundation for success, as having too many projects and aims will not only add to the paperwork and hassle, but may also dilute effectiveness. Many nonprofits with a complex groundwork hold numerous events or classes to which only a few people come. Smart businesspeople will hold fewer events or classes, but attract more people to each, thus saving on equipment and administrative costs.
Working in the nonprofit sector means doing more with less, so focusing on a narrow field of interest can be the simple foundation which allows for educated changes in operations later on. Concentration on a specific line of inquiry allows a nonprofit to explore specifics and become successful through a clear understanding of its field.
