Start an Independent NonProfit or a Fiscally Sponsored Nonprofit?

Fiscal Sponsorship
A Fiscally Sponsored nonprofit is a great way to have a tax exempt 501c3 nonprofit operational in a short time.  It provides you with the quickest way to start a nonprofit and the most support and help.  You simply need to download a few page application found in the Simple Nonprofit Starter Bundle download.  Everything else will be handled for you.

Independent Nonprofit
An independent nonprofit can be easy to set up and you can have the corporation part of it set up in a day.  Filing the IRS application for the tax exempt 501c3 part of it will take longer but with the corporation part set up you are in business and can begin work.

Steps to Start a Nonprofit that Is an Independent 501c3

Step 1

Create and File Your Articles of Incorporation

Creating and filing the Articles of Incorporation can be as simple as choosing a name, filling in a few fields online form and submitting the form with the filing fee.  The most you will have to do if your state does not provide an online form is to create the Articles of Incorporation and then mail them along with the filing fee or delivering them by hand if you want your entity created the same day.

To find your Corporation Division in your state just go to here and find your state in the list. Click Here—>Find Your State Corporation Division

Then click the link that says “State Nonprofit Corporation Filings”

To create Articles of Incorporation draft a document that looks like the example #1, example #2, example #3 and file it with your state.

Step 2

Apply for A Employer Identification Number (EIN)

Go to this link Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number to get the to fill out to apply for an EIN

You can also read this page to understand the EIN and how to use it Publication 1635, Understanding Your EIN

Step 3

Set Up Your Bank Account

Once your Articles of Incorporation are filed and your Employer Identification Number (EIN) assigned, you can take a copy of those to your local bank and open a bank account.

THAT’S IT! Once you have Articles of Incorporation filed and an EIN, your entity is legal.  There is a lot more you will need to do to establish the tax-exempt status but you have started a nonprofit in those few steps.

I want to see that everyone that wants to start a nonprofit is able to succeed in doing that.  Together, with thousands of successful nonprofits around the world we can make a positive impact on the world.  If you would like a much more detailed step-by-step resource and manual on how to start a nonprofit that is an independent 501c3 nonprofit, create all the documents you need, and then run it with success, we have you covered.  I have compiled a complete set of resources and manual on how to start an independent 501c3 nonprofit, create all the documents you need, and then run it with success.  The resource is called the Simple Nonprofit Independent Manual and is 91 pages chocked full of everything from key document creation, board development, donor development, etc.  It is included in the Simple Nonprofit Starter Bundle that you can download here.

Other Key Documents

Once you get your Article of Incorporation filed, your EIN, and bank account established you will want to work on Bylaws and eventually fill out and file the IRS 1023 which will give your nonprofit tax exempt status.  You can use the sample document below to create nonprofit bylaws.
