How can one start a non-profit organization?

How does one open up a non-profit organization? Just a basic bullet point summary is a start. Thanks.?

  • Answer:

    - Start by filing with your Secretary of State - Get 501C3 certification from the IRS - Raise funds for your non profit I have found a website that compiles various resources on starting a non profit. I especially like the Minnesota Council of NonProfits because the site gives information on governance, developing strategic alliances, fund raising and other ingredients of successfully running a non profit. http://www.lib.msu.edu/harris23/grants/znpbib.htm As for funding your non profit, I suggest you check out Foundation Center to help you gain ideas on how to properly establish your organization and get support from private foundations. They have the most extensive database of private donors, and they publish a magazine that can be very helpful to your new non profit. http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/tutorials/establish/index.html

You can go to IRS.gov and your State's gov. web site and download all the forms and information, to register as a non-profit. Your org. needs a name and a defined purpose.
