		<description>Angie, 

I&#039;m of the opinion that one needs a business plan for a lot of different reasons, one of which is to just keep all your thoughts and milestones in an organized manner, and also helping you with action plans and financial forecasts as your business goes forward. 

I don&#039;t believe these needs change dependent on for profit or non profit. 

For reference sake, you can look through some of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bplans.com/business_plan_search/index.cfm?search=non-profit&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;non-profit sample plans&lt;/a&gt; we have right here on bplans.com

I hope that was helpful!</description>

		<description>I want to start a non-profit (501 c3) that sponsors daycare centers participating in a government funded food program.  Do I need a business plan and what would it look like since I&#039;ll be a non-profit?</description>
