✨ Comprehensive Non-Profit Start‑Up Package

Our start‑up package includes everything you need to go from concept to action. Forming a non-profit requires two major steps:

1. State incorporation, and
2. IRS tax‑exempt recognition.

This process can feel overwhelming due to its complexity and timeline. We work closely with you to incorporate your organization and prepare a strong, compliant Form 1023 application. When your project is complete, you’ll be fully set up, compliant, and ready to make an impact. Multiple package options are available to meet the varied needs of our clients.

✨ Understanding the IRS Application Process

Non-profit organizers should understand that the IRS does not “grant” exempt status automatically. Instead, the IRS recognizes an organization’s exemption after reviewing a written application and determining that the organization meets the statutory requirements for its category of exempt status.

Most organizations request recognition through Form 1023 or Form 1024.

Once submitted, the IRS review process typically takes 2–6 months, though timelines may vary. When approved, the IRS issues an official determination letter confirming your organization’s exempt status and identifying the specific section of the Internal Revenue Code under which your non-profit qualifies (e.g., Section 501(c)(3)).
