Foundation Group - Testimonials

"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."

"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

"As a for-profit company converting to a nonprofit, we had a number of rather complex issues to be addressed. You helped us to understand those issues and when the IRS had questions, you took care of absolutely everything. The IRS was happy and we got what we needed: our IRS letter of determination. Now, we are better positioned to fulfill our mission. Thank you, again."

"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!"

"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."

"The Foundation Group assisted my organization in developing bylaws and obtaining 501c3 status. Throughout the process Rep. Dee Hollinger and staff were very courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive to all e-mail and phone calls. In a society where there are lots of online scams and fraudulent businesses, The Foundation Group definitely upheld the Better Business Bureau's high standards of business. The process was both swift and painless. I highly recommend the Foundation Group without reservation. Now, my organization can prepare to move to the next level! Thanks again, Foundation Group."
