There are legal, accounting, and technical hurdles that must be cleared when starting a nonprofit. Since our inception in 1995, we’ve assisted over 25,000 organizations and have maintained a 100% IRS approval rate.
Read on to learn more about applying for 501(c)(3) status and our SureStart™ Nonprofit Formation Plan.
Watch Our Founder & CEO Explain the Steps for Obtaining 501(c)(3) Status
The STEPS:
Establish a nonprofit corporation.
Obtain IRS 501(c)(3) status.
Take care of state compliance issues.
Step 1. Establish a Nonprofit Corporation
The majority of 501(c)(3) nonprofits qualify for tax-exempt status through nonprofit incorporation. This process is exactly what it sounds like—it establishes your organization as a corporation. To do this, you’ll have to file Articles of Incorporation, which requires the following steps:
- Obtaining a federal tax ID number (FEIN)
- Preparing bylaws for your board of directors to follow
Forming a corporation establishes the organization as a separate entity from its founders. This legally protects officers, directors, and other key individuals from liability.
Step 2. Obtain IRS 501(c)(3) Status
After qualifying as a corporation, your organization must apply for recognition of tax exemption to obtain 501(c)(3) status. A nonprofit corporation can apply by filing IRS Form 1023. Keep the following information in mind when approaching the form:
- The form itself is up to 28 pages long. After including the required attachments, schedules, and other necessary materials, it is not uncommon for these submissions to the IRS to be up to 100 pages.
- The IRS uses it to look for conflicts of interest and potential benefits to insiders. Both of these are possible grounds for denial.
Think of Form 1023 as an IRS examination. The 501(c)(3) application process is like an audit of proposed (and/or previous) activity. It examines the organization’s governing structure, purpose, and planned programs to make sure the organization is formed for exclusively 501(c)(3) purposes.
Step 3. State Compliance Issues
While obtaining 501(c)(3) status grants your new nonprofit federal tax exemption, there are two other, critical state issues that must be addressed.

The team's gentle pushing and explicative skills allowed me to flesh out each of my programs to the fullest extent. The application the IRS received was incredibly thorough and received approval on the first try, no questions asked.FG also ensured that our small-scale operations throughout the application process were well within nonprofit compliance laws in each of our states, as well as federally. All said and done, the Foundation Group team has been invaluable in terms of getting us off the ground and laying the foundation for longterm success in the industry.If you want to start a nonprofit, these are your people.

My partner and I wanted to start a not for profit as a way of giving back to our community. We had the means and the drive, but not the know-how. The Foundation group was the perfect fit. They were able to guide us through, step by step with as much information as we needed to make the right decision: every step of the way. They successfully navigated the process for us. Our entity is up and running and successfully held our first event. The cost was less than we expected and budgeted for and the service was incredible. Exceeded the expectations every step of the way.

I came into nonprofit development as a novice, yet Foundation Group accepted me as a client and gave me the guidance I needed to become a tax exempted nonprofit. Through Foundation Group's diligence and tireless professional prowess, their work educated me in nonprofit development as well as gave me much more than I paid for - gratitude.

The Foundation Group has been there for us as we established our charitable organization. Our exemption specialist, Aaron Burcham and Chaz and the support team were invaluable in the process to ensure that we are setting ourselves up properly and ensuring we understand the regulations to ensure we stay within the lanes of what we can and cannot do. As we have had questions through our growth and development, they have been there for us and they have just successfully completed our first annual report to the IRS. The Sure Start program with worth far more than we paid for the program and unless you specialize in IRS code, I cannot recommend enough the service that they provided.

Over a year ago, a colleague recommended Foundation Group when I mentioned wanting to create a nonprofit but had no knowledge of where to begin. At that time, she was several months into the process with them, and had nothing but positive to say.This past week, after working with them for about 8 months, I am excited to say we have received our IRS approval as a 501c3 organization! Along the way, every staff member I encountered were prompt and professional and patient with all my questions. The online portal is wonderful and provided such an easy way to communicate with their team. Shout out to Angela who took the time to guide me through the final filing process with the IRS and celebrated that step with me. Absolutely would recommend Foundation Group to anyone wanting to start a nonprofit organization!!

We are a small nonprofit and were seeking a consultation on possible next steps in order to grow our organization. Jim listened to our questions and needs, and then proceeded to share his expertise. Instead of upselling us or talking us into services we didn't need, he 100% advised us on next steps that were in our best interest. He not only gained our trust but also our respect. Thanks, Jim, for helping us understand our situation and consulting us on what was best for our future.

Starting a 501c3 nonprofit was so much work... and I don't believe I could have accomplished all of the tasks required by the IRS without the guided, supportive assistance of the Foundation Group. Highly personal, highly knowledgeable, extremely professional, and such a great team to work with. Ren not only guided us through all of the requirements, she personally asked probing questions, and provided insights I hadn't though of as a founder to ensure the future success of our nonprofit. Too many guided tips to even list. Ren's concerns for our nonprofit wasn't just being successful filing the IRS paperwork, it was also for the vision, and direction of our mission, and she made so many thoughtful suggestions of ideas and practices to explore to be compliant, as well as successful. Totally appreciative of all of the time and talent. We will continue to use their accounting services- there's so much that needs done for compliance, and, I feel like with the Foundation Group as a partner, we will continue to be successful.

Foundation group is the way to go when starting your non profit. I had no idea where to start. I did research and realized I needed professionals and people with experience. They guided me through the process and prepared me for each step that may be difficult to process. The staff was pleasant and patient with me and all the questions I had. (Always important to me) They are also assisting me with my charitable solicitation paperwork. I'm proud to say my non profit, Let's Run It Back has been approved. Thanks to Foundation Group and their assistance. Money well spent!

Foundation Group is an excellent partner to engage in your organization's pursuit of 501c3 status. They have a talented group of experts to guide your organization through the entire process. You provide them with the necessary information and they manage the entire process on your behalf. They also provide you with the option to continue working with them for filing and refiling purposes. We highly recommend them!

Over a year ago, I needed to create a 501c3 for my youth development program. I had a fiscal sponsor for years before, but it was time to manage the process myself. FG was EXTREMELY helpful, extremely patient in answering all of my questions, diligent in interviewing me so that they could do the best job to understand my program and ensure I was in compliance. Shortly after quickly establishing my 501c3, I figured out that my program was simply not going to be sustainable and I had to dissolve the non-profit program. Although FG is not allowed to perform all of the dissolving work, they assisted me with it all. I had to pay some money for them to do my taxes, but who gets taxes done for free?! They were worth every cent I paid and more. They made this as simple as it can get. You still have a lot of work to do and must be responsible and diligent in doing your part. If you do, you will be very successful and thankful for FG's guidance along the way. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING FOUNDATION GROUP!

As a conservative NPO start-up with a well-defined mission, a great team and Board, we naturally wanted to ensure our governance was world class...and that is what we got from the Foundation Group. We are extremely pleased. This organization is conservative, they know their stuff, they know how to communicate and move through the complexity with competence. Very methodical and thorough. Aaron is awesome, explaining each step of the program with strong follow through. In fact, everyone we speak to there is highly professional. We couldn't have picked a better group to manage our 501(c)3 filing, state filings and more. No wonder 18,000+ NPOs have successfully launched with Foundation Group! We plan to continue our relationship and build it wherever we can.

I am a business manager and have a client desiring to set up a Private Foundation. I initially searched for an attorney to assist with the set up and to help with the IRS exemption application. The costs, however, were prohibitive: I had quotes from two different attorneys with minimum fees of $15,000. I discovered Foundation Group in a Google search. I contacted them and their fees for far more reasonable and they were genuinely interested in providing assistance. This company is great. They have nailed it. The entire process of working with them is efficient and super organized. They have intake interviews that facilitate the entire process. And their web-based approach, where you have a dashboard with a task list, etc., works great. Everything is super organized, user-friendly and they are quite responsive. They clearly are experts at this and I am so thankful that I discovered them. I am recommending them to all of my colleagues. We will use them to also prepare the 990 tax returns and for any consulting. I give them an enthusiastic 5 stars.

I decided to try and start a 501c3 organization (Vets for Veteran Housing and Services) on my own. Once I looked into the process, I was overwhelmed by the complexity of all the forms and in-depth information that is required. I knew that I needed help. I researched who would be the best to help me achieve my goal. The Foundation Group kept coming up as #1. after making contact, and explaining my goals, every member of their co. gave me the assurance that everything would be attained. All my anxiety, about going through this process was immediately gone. Every single team member guided me through and explained every detail in a soothing and calm way as to allow my anxiety and my blood pressure to return to NORMAL. Within 5 months we received our certification from the IRS. and I was again overwhelmed!! but this time with excitement and joy!!! There was no way that I could have done this on my own. If you are looking to organize a 501c3, you do not have to go any further then contacting THE FOUNDATION GROUP. you will never be disappointed.

These folks are kind, knowledgeable and respectful. Even the sales pitch was welcoming. I really loved working with Nicolas and Aaron, they really worked hard (I could tell) to understand me, my experience and what my unique nonprofit is about. I have already recommended them to my friends and colleagues and I am super grateful to my assistant Tanya K. for suggesting them. If you can find the funds to hire them, I really suggest you do.

Setting up a 501c3 is a daunting undertaking that requires a LOT of patience and drive. The Foundation Group came highly recommended to us from a friend and they did not disappoint! From the very first contact, their staff were amazing. The knowledge, willingness to teach, guide, encourage and push at times through the process was refreshing, and although they have many clients, we never felt ignored or "just another number". They listened to our vision and mission and made sure that everything we did was in compliance with the legal requirements, while staying true to our vision. We cannot say enough thank yous to the team and if you are looking to set up a 501c3...or even just need advice about one you already have, we are confident that they can help you figure anything out.Well worth the investment.

The Foundation Group help set up our not for profit in a way that we have been able to get off the ground quickly and effectively. We have been able to get a number of grants, which have required the kind of documentation and sound governance and financial policies that the Foundation group helped us establish from the outset. They are also affordable. Highly recommend them.

I cannot begin to explain how awesome the Foundation Group has been to work with. When we had our initial consultation I was a little skeptical. They talked about all of the things they’d do to make this process easy and simple for us. Told us how their support system worked, how quickly they’d respond to questions, etc. All I can say is they’re selling theirselves short. This organization went above and beyond from day one to make our application process a smooth endeavor. Lauren was awesome to work with and answered every question I had (I had plenty). She walked me through every step, spent a lot of time with me to establish our budget, defined every step that was required next and made sure we had it right. Needless to say with all of their help we were approved the first time we applied and are now off and running.Thank you to the Foundation Group for making this a pleasant experience. We really appreciate your efforts and will be glad to share our experience with anyone looking to obtain their 501C3.

They have also taught me so much about the process and how to maintain status as I move forward. I truly could not have done it all with out them. Thank you, thank you!!!

The folks at Foundation Group really went the distance in helping me get the documentation I needed to get GLS Veterans Home its 501c3 status. The process took me about a year to get completed (due to challenges on my end). Through it all they hung in there and helped me when I needed a question answered, if I didn't understand something in the process.Once I was able to gain the information I needed to get to them, the process went quickly. They were extremely efficient and helpful throughout the whole process.Heather Young was courteous, kind and helpful as were the rest of the folks there. If/when I ever decide to start another non-profit, I would definitely use their services again.Thank you to everyone at Foundation Group.

I cannot say enough good about this organization! The communication has been exceptional. Their support is encouraging and reassuring. Any 501c3 start-up can be quite detailed and/or difficult. Their knowledge of the field and expertise has helped me over and over as I work through this start up process. A year ago, I hired a lawyer for over $3,000 who promised me the world in starting up my 501c3. I did all the start-up work and completed the 30 page application with all the requirements. He never filed. He gave one excuse after another, and finally I just walked away and had to cut my losses. I have hesitated doing anything since as I couldn't afford another financial hit like that one. As I talked with the Foundation Group, they clearly, and explicitly walked through the process with me. I understood completely what they offered and provided!! They were the answer to prayer I have been look for this past year!!

Five stars are not enough for Foundation Group! From the first contact, they have been honest, efficient and they have a heart of a teacher! We put 100% trust in them because we knew nothing about the process and every person involved with our process was wonderful!

If you are serious about getting your organization tax exempt, then choose the Foundation Group. I had the pleasure to utilize their services and they walked me through the application process step by step. The IRS is not going to mess around with an application not completed correctly. If you want it done right the first time, choose this company. Well worth it.
