I would just like to say thank you for organizing this site and making it available to newly formed nonprofits.
I used this site to help form our nonprofit and to file our IRS tax exemption, and I know it is the reason why we got our determination letter back successfully in 90 days! Without your help, I feel I would have been at a loss because the tax application is so unbelievably overwhelming, particularly when you are a brand new nonprofit and do not have numbers or reports to base a lot of your findings on. It’s all projections. BUT thanks to your help with it, we received our exempt status, and the grant work can finally begin! Thank you, Thank you!
Your website and your direct support were absolutely key to this success!
I just wanted to let you know that our non-profit AKUN in Alaska got the determination letter from the IRS yesterday… granting us tax-exemption 501c3 status. No questions or addendum were asked.
We are very pleased and we thank you so much for your great help!
We are happy that you can add AKUN to your long list of approved non-profits!
Thank you again!
Thank you Chris for making this site.
thank you chris for making this site. I can’t seem to be able to open the pdf files. Is it a problem on the site or is at on my end.
This has been SUCH a help.
This has been SUCH a help. Thank you for creating this website.
A huge thanks from me and all the kitties!
Hi Chris,
You helped me about 7 months ago with a phone consult and I used your templates.
We were just awarded our 501(c) 3. Thank you so much for all your help, I couldn’t have done it alone, that’s for sure.
A huge thanks from me and all the kitties!

This will save me a ton of work and will make more probable that I will actually be able to do this.
I am starting a non-profit for photographers in New Jersey and downloaded the docs for a 501c,3. I have no funding or resources except my own sweat equity.
I wanted to reach out to say thank you to you for your review and feedback on the Form 1023 for the Coalition for Safe Spaces in Lebanon.
Our application check cleared on April 27th, a receipt was sent to us on May 16th, and our determination letter was approved as of June 4th and received as of today.
It wouldn’t have been possible without your templates, review, and feedback.
Thank you,
Thank you for this website.
I’m a 75 year old guy, a USAF veteran. I wanted to start a non-profit that would help disabled vets from all branches. I would feel guilty about taking any $$$ to cover my fuel cost and any minimal expenses. I’ll just continue to thank those guys when I see them.
Maybe we can start an organization that can/will expose these “way” over paid CEO leeches.
VERY grateful for the advice on your site, your review and your suggestions on our application.
Chris, We received a call back Friday from the IRS indicating our 1023 application is approved. The IRS asked no questions. Thanks too for the advice to follow up by phone. IRS did not review the application until we called repeatedly and then not until 180 days had passed and our call prompted filing a “referral” which finally led to the application being reviewed by an agent. We give a lot of credit to the information provided on Form1023.org. We also had great help from sister schools that shared guidance from their 1023 applications. THANKS again
Chris – your site is a great resource.
I appreciate all the information you provide and how clearly and concisely the information is presented. I will be looking to make a donation in the near future. In the meantime, great work and thank you!
Best,
Thank you very much for your excellent advise.
Chris
Yesterday I received our tax exempt authorization form the IRS. I never received any request for more information.

Thank you so much for offering the services that you did.
Hey Chris,
I just wanted to let you know that I just received our 501c3 acceptance letter in the mail today! I could never have done it by myself nor was I at a place financially to pay someone. So again thank you! I will be referring you as much as I can.
With Respect,

This website is one of the best-kept secrets on the Internet.
If you are looking to start a 501(C)3, you have come to the right place! Chris is an expert and he knows his business hands-down! I hired him to help me with my Sage Hawk Foundation 1023 form, and he did not disappoint me. We spoke back and forth several times over the phone until every detail was covered and completed to his satisfaction. I thought I had done a pretty good job by myself, but Chris spotted a dozen major errors. I was notified today that my foundation was approved for tax exemption status, and it was way ahead of schedule! I never had to do any corrections with the IRS. Please don’t bother wasting your money on expensive business lawyers. Chris is THE MAN! Well done, sir!
Thank you for the colossal effort.
This may sound petty, but if you could permit right clicking on the hyperlinks so they can be opened in a new tab or window, or automatically have them open in a new tab or window, that would be great. It’s frustrating having to continually use the back button and figure out where I last left off reading. Thanks a bunch! Love your website, by the way. What a lifesaver.
Thank you Chris for the information that you have provided.
It blows my mind how much is required, but in the long run I know it will be worth it. Thank you again!
