How to Start, Run & Grow a Successful Nonprofit Organization
DIY Startup Guide to 501 C(3) Nonprofit Charitable Organization For All 50 States & DC


This is one of the most comprehensive guides you will find on how to start, run and grow a 501(c) nonprofit organization in the bookstores. I worked 23 years as a consultant for many small to medium size nonprofit organizations. My primary job was to show them the actual step by step process on how to open such charitable organizations properly and legally.

Many nonprofit organizations run into various legal and tax problems if and when they don't take the right steps when opening and filling their paperwork with their state and Federal government. It is not rocket science, but there are few minor details that you have to know and follow to avoid significant setbacks and issues in the future.

In this guide, I cover the basics of starting a nonprofit organization (NPO). I show you a detailed step by step process of fulfilling each and every requirement by your state and the federal government. I also added provisions for all 50 US states and for the District of Columbia.
