How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation [With CDROM]

I have started 4 companies in the past, my first nonprofit 2 years ago. I didn't know anything about them and this book taught me everything I needed to know to get going. I am frequently asked how to start a nonprofit by friends and I always just point them to this book. Even if you intend to use a lawyer to incorporate (which I recommend, also), this book will educate you on the things you need to know to understand the process.

When I ordered this book, I knew nothing about the nuts and bolts of non-profit incorporation. By following the steps clearly laid out in this book, I had my articles of incorporation, bylaws, and 501c(3) forms finished in days. This is by far the best book I have ever seen of its kind. A very complicated process has been simplified enough for anyone who will put in the sincere effort to follow the book and complete the steps.Thank you Anthony Mancuso!!!

As a consultant to community service groups, I recommend this book to each and every one of my clients. If you're looking to start a nonprofit organization, it has everything you need to know to start a 501(c)(3) without hiring a lawyer for hundreds or thousands of dollars. The book walks you through the state incorporation process and the federal/IRS application process; it includes copies and a computer disk with pre-formatted samples of: letters, Articles of Incorporation, Organization Bylaws, Meeting Minutes formats, and more. It also takes you step-by-step through the IRS Form 1023, which you must complete for 501(c)(3) determination. This detailed information about the Form 1023 is MOST helpful for anyone looking to start a nonprofit group!

This is the very best work I have found to date which totally describes the process of forming a non-profit corporation in terms most people could understand. Well worth a look! You'll wish you started here first!

How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation is the simplest, straight-foward, plain english help available for groups trying to organize themselves as a tax-exempt non profit organization! Mancuso gives clear real-life examples and self tests to determine which of a plethora of options is the right one for your org., as well as suggested language to satisfy every scrutinous section in your exemption application. Don't even THINK about trying to go at it without this book at your side.
