How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation: A Step-By-Step Guide to Forming a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit in Any State

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!
