Experience You Can Trust.  IRS Approval Guaranteed!
The Foundation Group® is America's foremost provider of 501c3 startup services.  Here's why...
We Do The Work For You.
We make 501c3 simple:  No IRS forms to complete...no IRS agents to talk to...no complicated paperwork on your end whatsoever.  We provide personal (one-on-one) consultation, preparation of all documents, applications and attachments, plus direct IRS representation.  If the IRS has questions about your application, they deal with us, not you.  You will be approved - guaranteed!
Our 100% Approval Rate.
The Foundation Group® really has a 100% approval rate.  Every 501c3 application filed that we've prepared has been granted tax-exempt status.  We accomplish this by actually getting to know your organization and its programs, thereby ensuring that your organization is properly structured.
Our Experience - Trusted by Attorneys and Professionals Nationwide.
When we started, there were practically no firms like ours in existence.  Today, attorneys, CPA's and other professionals regularly turn to us to serve their clients.  They know that our expert staff has the knowledge and years of experience to provide their clients with exactly what they need.  You can rest assured that our team is absolutely dedicated to the success of your nonprofit organization!
Affordable Expertise...Get the Process Started Today for Only $250*!
You don't have to shell out a fortune to have the best working for you.  Our 501c3 startup services cost far less than what most accountants and attorneys charge...many of whom have little or no experience dealing with nonprofit organizations like yours.

By the same token, we are not a bargain-basement internet company or online legal-filings service.  The "low price" they advertise on the front-end is usually in exchange for you doing most of the work and being left to face the IRS all by yourself.  That's not our idea of a bargain.

Our staff members are seasoned, career professionals who are dedicated to doing the heavy-lifting for you and seeing you all the way to a successful approval.  You don't have to do this alone.
*Final cost typically totals $1,200 including nonprofit incorporation process.  Schools, colleges, hospitals and scientific research organizations require substantially more work and are priced higher accordingly.  By law, California-based organizations require additional services.  IRS and/or state filing fees, if applicable, are not included.
Iron-Clad, Money-Back Guarantee.
We are so confident of your success that we will gladly refund our preparation fees...even your IRS filing fees...should your application for IRS tax-exemption recognition be denied.  As our valued clients can attest...that's a guarantee we've never had to honor!
Still Not Convinced?
Call our toll-free number and speak with one of our knowledgeable associates.  There is no cost or obligation.  We will be happy to discuss your plans and help you understand how this process works.  Let us show you just how easy this can be!

family of satisfied, and successful, clients.

Gillian at Phwezi Girls School in Malawi.
"I was amazed and jubilant when I opened our IRS approval letter.  The high quality of The Foundation Group's work can be seen in the fact that it took only 15 days from the time of submission to approval by the IRS.  Your error-free attention to details helped smooth the way.  I heartily recommend The Foundation Group to anyone seeking assistance in the 501(c)(3) process."

Rev. David Cole
Golden Gate Senior Fellowship
San Francisco, California

"We received our 501(c)(3) approval letter from the IRS on Saturday.  Just wish to say how much we appreciate your effort to do a great job on our application!  The quality of your work is evident by the speed and ease of our approval - about 25 days!  With our approval in hand, we are now ready to move forward with our organization.  Thanks again to you!  Best regards..."

"Please add me to your (referral) list.  I was amazed that you did this.  I tried to set up a 501c3 through a lawyer years ago and it was hopeless.  (This time) the woman from the IRS totally understood what I was doing.  The process was seamless.  Have anyone call me anytime for a resounding recommendation."


Carol Highsmith
Twenty-First Century America Foundation
Takoma Park, Maryland


"I was so pleased with the friendly and knowledgeable service The Foundation Group (provided) our new nonprofit organization.  It was a great investment and a load off my mind to know that there were professionals working on our 501(c)(3).  I was able to focus on other tasks instead of trudging through IRS forms.  I highly recommend and trust this service!"

"I just received my letter from the IRS confirming the approval for our tax exempt status! I am extremely happy that this took almost no time at all! Thank you for all of your assistance and guidance with my application. The letter that I received from the IRS states that a copy was sent to your office as well. Please let me know if there is anything that you need from
me.  I am elated, thank you so much!"

Corinne O'Flynn

"That is OUTSTANDING! I had not expected it until the end of January and it is great to have it before the end of the year as there are several individuals who have indicated an interest in including us in their end-of-year giving but were concerned about the certification...You folks have done an outstanding job and if I can be of any assistance or you wish to use me as a reference, please feel free to do so...Have a great Christmas and a blessed New Year."

"Thank you so much for your assistance. We can't say enough good things about The Foundation Group! In fact, we have already recommended you to another organization, and will certainly do so again. We appreciate the help with the Form 990 requirements, and I will probably have some other questions concerning our operations and status.  Thanks again!"

"THANK YOU!! That (our approval) is wonderful news! We are currently in the process of writing grants and were praying we would get our status in time. Prayers are answered. Thank you again for your incredible help and support. I'll keep you updated on our progress and let you know if we need anything else. You and your organization are truly a blessing to companies like ours!"
