"Before becoming a part of LaCharla's program for Non-Profits, I had no clue where to even begin! LaCharla's program stood out to me because of how it crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's for running a successful Non-profit.

As a matter of fact, since beginning my work with LaCharla our Non-profit not only has gotten up and running, but we have also been able to raise thousands of dollars to provide those impacted by addiction with the knowledge and experience of the teachings of meditation, yoga, healthy living, and diet."

I contacted LaCharla because I was uncertain as to how to create a nonprofit and wanted professional advice. She was easy to work with, very organized, and very helpful with the step-by-step. Our nonprofit is up and running, and I've already referred others to her.
