Launch your nonprofit. State + IRS + state charity, all done.
Launching a nonprofit requires four separate steps: state nonprofit corporation formation, EIN from IRS, IRS Form 1023 (or 1023-EZ for small) for 501(c)(3) recognition, and state charitable solicitation registration in the operating state. Each step has its own paperwork and timeline. We bundle everything for $1,999 plus IRS user fees, with the 1023 prepared by experienced nonprofit specialists.
