Foundation Group & BryteBridge - Our Next Chapter, Together
Stronger Nonprofits. Better Communities.
Nonprofit leaders like you are why we exist.
That’s why Foundation Group and BryteBridge—two of the most trusted names in nonprofit formation, compliance, and support—are coming together to build something better: a more complete, more reliable system that helps you launch faster, stay compliant with confidence, and grow with the right guidance at every stage.
By combining our expertise, people, and resources, we’re expanding what’s possible for the nonprofits we serve—and doubling down on the support you count on as your mission moves forward.
Announcing The Sure System™
Your idea, brought to life for impact, compliance and stability.
A playground needs sponsors to keep it safe and clean. Local students lack scholarships to access higher education. Those grieving a loved one want to create lasting impact in their memory. A school could use more parental involvement. Stray animals need a safe and loving home. And your community needs you.
It’s people like you—who act when they see a need—who make this world a better place.
Whether your idea is new or you’re scaling what you’ve built, The Sure System™ was designed to guide you forward with the structure, expertise, and ongoing support you need to sustain lasting impact.
Idea → Plan
Build a solid foundation with helpful planning documents, guides, samples, tutorials, videos, a searchable knowledge base, and access to our exclusive nonprofit member community and self-paced learning platform 501c3 University™
Plan → Launch
Bring your nonprofit to life with filing and formation guided by dedicated consultants with Federal and State representation. Gain IRS approval and form bylaws and Articles of Incorporation with our industry-leading 501(c)(3) status guarantee.
Launch → Confidence
Stay confident with federal and state requirements without confusing IRS instructions—whether you operate in one state or all fifty. Annual IRS Form 990 filings, charitable solicitation registrations and renewals are all reviewed by a certified tax professional
Confidence → Clarity
Whether you don’t have accounting experience or simply don’t have the time, let a dedicated nonprofit bookkeeper set up your chart of accounts, prepare monthly financial statements, reconcile, file year-end 1099 and NEC, and so much more.
Everything nonprofit leaders need to learn, connect and grow.
For decades, nonprofit leaders across every stage and board position have relied on Foundation Group’s videos, articles and guides for practical, credible guidance.
Now, in partnership with BryteBridge, we’re launching 501(c)(3) University™—a dedicated community and knowledge platform built on our combined, time-tested experience in the nonprofit industry.
501(c)(3) University™ brings together trusted education, real-world expertise, and guided learning with an interactive community where nonprofit leaders can connect.

About The Merger
Yes. Foundation Group has joined the larger BryteBridge organization to combine resources, expertise and services under one nonprofit support platform.
The acquisition happened because the two companies have aligned missions and services in helping nonprofits start, stay compliant, and grow. By joining forces, they can provide a broader, more integrated set of services, technology, and resources to nonprofit clients—leveraging shared expertise to better meet the needs of organizations at all stages.
Foundation Group officially joined BryteBridge Group on October 31, 2025 when the acquisition was announced and completed.
Services will be marketed and sold under the Foundation Group brand (on the web at www.501c3.org) — now as part of the BryteBridge family — maintaining its trusted team and service offerings while gaining access to BryteBridge’s expanded tools and technology. Clients will still work with familiar Foundation Group advisors, but now with the added support and integration of the broader BryteBridge Group ecosystem.
In addition to Foundation Group, the BryteBridge Group includes several other nonprofit-focused brands that have been acquired to expand services across the nonprofit lifecycle:
- MoneyMinder: Offers financial management software tailored for small to mid-sized nonprofits, without the excess of general accounting tools or the risks of manual methods like spreadsheets.
- Nonprofit Suite: A full-service nonprofit-focused accounting and nonprofit CFO services firm offering personalized financial management for established nonprofits.
- 501c3 Center: Provides streamlined, a la carte nonprofit 990-N, formation and other tools for smaller organizations.
Together with Foundation Group and BryteBridge, these brands create a comprehensive suite of nonprofit formation, compliance, and financial support.
