Request a free 30 minute conversation with our team. We'll discuss the timeline, cost and process of creating a public charity, private foundation, or other tax exempt organization.

Create Organizing Documents

Once you've provided our team with some information, we will draft your articles of incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, organizational actions, and we'll obtain an EIN for your nonprofit startup. We can help start a nonprofit in any state!

Apply for 501c3 Status

The last step is to file the right form with the IRS. Whether it's the 1023, 1024, or 1023-EZ, we can help you select the right form and we'll get it completed for you. Once you review and sign off on it, we'll submit it to the IRS so you can get your determination letter as soon as possible.
