Starting a nonprofit organization is a complex process. The Foundation Group has developed a unique, comprehensive approach designed to incorporate your nonprofit, secure 501(c)(3) status and help you achieve long-term success.
It’s not just document preparation…frankly, lots of people can fill out forms. There’s a lot more to it than that. We help you structure your nonprofit the right way so that you accomplish your mission and avoid the pitfalls. We’re all about the big picture.

Please add me to your referral list. I was amazed that you did this. I tried to set up a 501(c)(3) through a lawyer years ago and it was hopeless. This time the IRS totally understood what I was doing. The process was seamless. Consider this my resounding recommendation!
