Got accepted a month and a half later!

In the process of trying to figure out how to properly complete our 1023 application we came across Chris’s page, and boy do I wish we would have found it earlier. For one- we truly appreciate his price. A company wanted $5,000 for their services and a lawyer wanted $3,000 for her services. As any startup, we did not have those funds so we started to do everything ourselves because most information is available to the public (you just have to do your homework). This is when we found Chris and his services… At first, we were hesitant because of all the fake websites nowadays but we took a shot and it paid off. Considering we are serving international and what everyone was telling us with their false ideas, we were expecting to wait a long time… With the help of Chris and his exceptional communication, knowledge, resources, transparency and much more, we got accepted a month and a half later!

We started our church tax exemption journey without much experience and knowledge and came across this website and decided to try a phone consultation and it was the best decision We made. Besides the fact that this website is full of information for the common person like myself, the owner of the website was very kind, very approachable and very knowledgeable.. a rare find. From the members of our church- IDCM la famila-we thank you.

We have success on the 501c3 retroactive reinstatement. I received it in this morning’s mail and have attached it. Not being an accountant, and our accountant having passed away, I have to admit I was intimidated by the IRS retroactive reinstatement paperwork. Your website was extremely detailed & helpful. Your review and the time on the phone were invaluable. I just let my new accounting firm know about you as well!

The information Chris provided was very helpful and reassuring! Much appreciated! I wish I had known about this website several years ago, which would have saved our private foundation hundreds of dollars.

The Right Guidance

I could not have done this without Chris and his amazing guidance. First, he provides so many examples and templates that helped us make sure we had set ourselves up properly in the first place. Secondly, his help in interpreting the questions on Form 1023 were invaluable. He knows what the IRS is really asking, and how the questions fit together to the overall picture! He also read our documents and offered clarity in how to explain everything. I would highly recommend using this website, and asking for Chris to review your submission before sending it in! We submitted our application on Oct. 17, 2022 and got our Letter of Determination status on Oct. 26, 2022! Just incredible! Thank you so much Chris, and your team!

Years ago when my daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled, in her doped up stage on the ride home she kept saying, “Mom. That was fast. Mom. That was fast.”

Well, thanks to this amazingly comprehensive and generous website, I submitted my 501c3 application the first week of October 2022 and had IRS approval on October 21!! Wow. That was fast. I’m stunned and very grateful to Chris for this excellent guide. Read and reread the pages and go for it.

I can’t think of anything negative to say about Chris. He is super nice and very helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable! I would have been totally lost without his help. I highly recommend him and his services. I honestly don’t know how he does it. Even with his busy schedule, he finds the time to reach out and help. Thank you, Chris, for all of your assistance. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thank you again!!!

We were elated to receive our 501(c)3 letter of exemption on August 12, 2022. The application was filed in April, 2022. We had expected a minimum of 6 months. The IRS 1023 website was reporting that they were working on applications submitted prior to November 3, 2021.

Our application was processed without requiring any amendments, thanks to the careful and professional assistance of Chris Sorbi.

Three Weeks From Submittal to Approval - Pay Attention, do what is suggested

July 25, 2022

We had no money to pay someone to help us form our nonprofit and obtain 501(c)(3) status. We had a good idea and $100 so we donated to get the template package with the 40 minutes of consulting. Within 3 weeks and about 100 hours of reading and typing we had a legally formed California Nonprofit Corporation, EIN, CA Secretary of State and DOJ clearance, web site and submitted our form 1023 to the IRS. At the end of three weeks we had our approval letter. With all the fees and the pittance to form1023.org the whole thing cost under $1,000., $600 of it was the IRS fee for the 1023 review. We did not have an expediting letter. We followed Chris’s instructions and suggestions, honed our story, typed like mad people, and it worked. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

The 1023 application is daunting to say the least. The materials Chris provided, as well as the personal feedback given, have alleviated my stress during this process. We are going to be submitting our 1023 application and supporting documents very soon, and I have great confidence that we have been prepared for success through the resources at 1023.org.
