FAQ

  • How much does it normally cost to start a nonprofit?

    Consulting fees vary, with rates averaging $1,000 to $1,500 USD (PLUS filing fees) for incorporation and 501(c)3 status. This money could be better used to invest in operational equipment and program services for your clients.

  • How do I know if I qualify for the streamlined 1023EZ 501(c)3 application?

    Most new nonprofits qualify for the streamlined 501(c)3 application. Among the few that do not qualify are schools, hospitals, churches, financial consulting agencies, and organizations that have any tangible reason (such as a written agreement) that they will be receiving 50k or more in the next 3 years.

  • Can my nonprofit pay me back for this course?

    Absolutely! This course is an investment into your organization, and your organization can pay you back for your out-of-pocket expenses. For this to happen, you must add the price of this course and the price of filing fees as a 'reimbursable expense to the founder' when you complete your operational budget and notify your board of directors.
