Description:

Are you are really passionate about an issue and thinking about starting your own nonprofit--but don’t know where to begin? This toolkit provides a simple overview as well as practical resources for starting your own nonprofit organization. The toolkit is broken into three key areas that are important to know before starting any nonprofit organization. These areas include: fiscal sponsorship, key steps to 501c3 nonprofit incorporation, and handling responses from the IRS. The toolkit also includes information about the IRS’s Five-Year Advance Ruling Period and steps you can take during that period to insure your nonprofit’s public charity status. This practical information will help you through a smooth incorporation process.
