Chris,
I just want to thank you for all your help in providing the best information for me to get my organization a 501 (c) 3 non-profit status. Filling out a form 1023 is a daunting task and your information was spot on. After 3 months from submission, the IRS got back to me stating that it will be at least 6 – 9 more months before they will get a determination for me.
So I felt that I could not wait that long so using your material I requested expedited processing. Low and behold I was accepted for expedited processing. In the meantime, my Articles of Incorporation which was done by an attorney had errors that the IRS said needed to be corrected before they could approve. Due to having the articles of incorporation amended it delayed the process 2 weeks but in the end, I received my letter of determination from the IRS in just 6 weeks from the time I was accepted in the expedited process.
I just want to let you know how thankful I am about your service and I appreciate all the help you gave me.
Kindest regards,
Thanks for all your help man

Aloha Chris,
I wanted to write to let you know we received our 501c3 approval letter! They approved it favorably on October 17th! The application was received on August 31st, 2019. It was processed in only 7 weeks with the expedite letter!
Thank you so much for all of your expertise and guidance. I could not have accomplished this without your help.
Many Many Mahalos.
Blessed.... Thank you
Thank you for saving me hours of trying to figure out how to do our organization by-laws. This is truly a blessing and I recommend this company.
Value, value, value
This site is extraordinary. Well done and thanks for all of your hard work. The value I received for a mere $35 has been greatly appreciated. I am definitely taking advantage of the Application Review next. Bravo.
I wish I'd found this earlier
You have no idea (or maybe you do) how frustrating it is to try and get the big picture and start a non-profit (church). I spent months researching, and everyone I called confused me even more. I paid $1600 to Legal Zoom just for Incorporation, EIN, and By-laws and I wish I hadn’t. Knowing now that I could have done all of that for free and money aside, they just took the money and made me feel more stupid and gave me incomplete paperwork. I’ve been reading through these instructions for the past 9 hours and just wanted to say thank you for sharing this with the world. God bless you and please don’t ever take this site down.
Received our tax exempt status thanks to this site!
I can honestly say that there is no better place on the internet to help guide you in this crazy process. I spent 6 months researching and filling out form 1023 to form a non-profit on my own. The donation to get the template for bylaws, conflict of interest, and articles of incorporation is the best money I have spent all year. After sending form 1023 to the IRS in early May, I received the determination letter in early August. I am so grateful for this website and the information you have put together.
Your site is such an amazing and vital resource
Your site is such an amazing and vital resource…easy to follow and comprehensive through and through. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you for the simplicity
My family and I have decided to help the homeless in a different way than they are are being helped. We have found that becoming a nonprofit is much confusing than we thought. However, your website has made it a lot more clearer with the steps.
I believe because of the way we want to help we are going to run into a lot of problems but we will push forward and hopefully others will see the compassion and consistency within our organization. Thanks to your website we can continue because we were at our wit ends with all these sites wanting money and trying to tell us we cant do this on our own, so again thank you for the simplicity.
It was great to find this website
I paid an accountant to do this for me last spring. All summer I have been applying for grants only to learn I have not been registered with the IRS. I had even already obtained the EIN and D&B # that I need for federal grants. After the experience, I no longer trust someone else to handle this business for me, so it was great to find this website.
No non-sense approach.
