Hi!Welcome to FASS's TRAINING HUB!
The world's first training hub designed to empower you to build a nonprofit without the limitations of the nonprofit industrial complex.
At FASS, our founder, Yujia Zhu, envisions creating a ripple effect—starting with herself. That’s why all training materials are permanently and openly accessible to anyone who wants to create change.
FASS is the first and only nonprofit in the world to successfully break free from the nonprofit industrial complex (NPIC). While traditional nonprofits grapple with financial dependency, bureaucratic hurdles, and systemic constraints, FASS has thrived for over five years, making a global impact since its inception—operating entirely without funding, donations, investments, or monetary transactions.
Founder Yujia has done what no one else has--proving that a nonprofit can be long-lasting, impactful, and sustainable without financial reliance. As the only person in the world to solve the NPIC challenge in practice, she developed a proven, workable solution using the Founder Mode management style.
This one-of-a-kind training hub is designed to empower you to build a nonprofit free from the constraints of NPIC. Imagine a world where anyone can create meaningful social impact in their community--without financial limitations. If everyone had the tools, knowledge, and freedom to drive change on their own terms, think of how much better, more equitable, and more innovative our world could become.
This is more than just a training program—it’s a movement. A revolution in how nonprofits are built and sustained. And it starts with you.

Founder Yujia's note:
My approach is by no means intended to diminish the importance of donations or funding in the nonprofit sector. Rather, my experience at For A Safer Space (FASS) serves as an exploratory experiment, a way to investigate whether there could be an alternative path to founding and managing a nonprofit. My journey with FASS was a test of possibility: Could a nonprofit achieve meaningful impact without the traditional dependency on funding?
Through Founder Mode, I discovered that it is indeed possible. By focusing on resourcefulness, resilience, and a mission-first approach, I was able to build and sustain FASS without financial input. This success offers a new perspective, one that doesn’t replace funding but instead adds to the diversity of models available for those striving to create lasting impact in the nonprofit world.
This approach may not be suitable for nonprofits with established histories and long-standing funding structures. Founder Mode is not a one-size-fits-all solution; rather, it is a model I specifically recommend for new founders or those who intend to keep their nonprofit as a side project rather than a full-time commitment.
Over the years, I successfully ran FASS while studying full-time and/or working full-time, demonstrating that it is possible to build a mission-driven organization without immediate financial reliance. Founder Mode is ideal for those who want to innovate, remain adaptable, and focus deeply on their purpose from day one, rather than being constrained by financial pressures.
For new founders, this model provides the freedom to build something unique, unburdened by the financial expectations that often dilute a nonprofit’s mission and impact. It empowers leaders to prioritize resilience, creativity, and autonomy, establishing a solid foundation that can evolve with or without traditional funding, depending on future needs.
In the end, every positive change—no matter how small—matters.

创始人朱羽佳的寄语:
我的方法 绝不是 为了削弱 捐赠或资金 在非营利领域中的重要性。相反,我在 For A Safer Space(FASS) 的经历是一次 探索性的实验,旨在研究是否存在另一种创办和管理非营利组织的路径。我希望通过 FASS 验证一个可能性:非营利组织是否能在不依赖传统资金的情况下实现有意义的社会影响?
通过 创始人模式(Founder Mode),我发现 确实可以。通过专注于 资源整合、韧性和使命优先,我成功地在 零资金投入 的情况下创建并维持了 FASS。这一成功提供了一种 全新的视角——它不是用来取代资金,而是为非营利领域 增加一种可选模式,帮助那些希望创造 持久影响 的人。
然而,这种方法 并不适用于 已有悠久历史并依赖长期资金支持的非营利组织。创始人模式 并非 通用方案,我特别推荐它给以下人群:
新创始人:希望探索 不同于传统模式 的非营利组织运作方式的人。
想将非营利组织作为副业 而非全职事业的实践者。
多年来,我在 全职学习或全职工作 的同时成功运营 FASS,这表明 建立一个使命驱动的组织并不一定需要立即依赖资金。创始人模式 非常适合 那些希望创新、保持灵活性,并从第一天起就专注于使命,而不被财务压力束缚的人。
对于 新创始人 来说,这种模式提供了 自由度,让他们可以打造 独特且不受资金期望束缚 的组织。它能让领导者 优先考虑韧性、创造力和自主权,建立一个能够随着未来需求自适应发展(无论是否获得传统资金)的坚实基础。
最终,每一个 积极的改变——无论多么微小——都至关重要。
