Over 25 Years of Helping Good People Start and Operate Great Nonprofits!

We’re America’s most trusted experts for incorporation, 501(c)(3) status, fundraising registration, Form 990 prep, and full-service bookkeeping…it’s all here to empower your nonprofit success story.

Start a Nonprofit Organization

Starting a successful nonprofit is hard work. You need seasoned professionals who can help you get started the right way while avoiding the pitfalls.

Start a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit

Whether you are starting a charity, church, school, or any other nonprofit organization, our full-service SureStart™ plan makes it simple for you to get there. Over 25,000 nonprofits established through Foundation Group since 1995.

501(c)(3) Recovery

Revoked 501(c)(3) status? You can get it back! Our reinstatement service is for nonprofits whose tax-exempt status has been revoked for failure to file Form 990 for 3 consecutive years. Hundreds rely on us every year to reinstate their 501(c)(3) status.

Fiscal Sponsorship

Not every new nonprofit plan needs to establish its own 501(c)(3). For some, coming under the umbrella of a fiscal sponsor is a better, more efficient solution. Learn more about fiscal sponsorship through our friends at Compass Charitable Partners.
