Starting a Non-Profit After Military Service

Starting a Non-Profit After Military Service

Starting a non-profit after military service is an option some aren’t aware of. Creating your own non-profit to do the work you love and to help others is an opportunity you can take if you prepare. My guest, Mike Steadman, the Founder & CEO of IRONBOUND Boxing & Education did just that. Mike, a three-time National Collegiate Boxing Champion from the United States Naval Academy and Marine Corps Infantry Officer, started a nonprofit organization based in Newark, NJ that provides free amateur boxing training, entrepreneur education, and employment opportunities for Newark youth & young adults. Mike shares his story of getting started in boxing, the steps he took to start a non-profit, and tips to help you start a nonprofit and mistakes to avoid.
