Form1023.org Reviews & Testimonials from Real Nonprofits

Chris,

I did receive the letter of approval about IRS tax exempt.

Thank you again. Keep in touch.

Dear Chris,

I realized I neglected to let you know that we got our 501 (c)(3) approval last October!

Cheers Chris,

I hope you are having a great week. I came across your site early last year after reading countless online info and some books on forming a nonprofit organization. It was all so daunting and uninspiring. Most authors, at least the ones I read, only skimmed the surface of what I sought. They never cut clear to the bone and explain in full detail as you have so elegantly and with a bit of humor did on your site. I managed nonetheless with what I researched to file & received my Article of Incorporation. I think it was the easiest of the lot to accomplish.

Now, the grind and misery begins with form 1023 and I am NOT taking this task on without the help of your amazing website. You explain things in layman’s term and give awesome answers, which I will borrow a few (lots) and use in my own voice as much as I can.

Saying thank you seems insufficient, so I will make a proper donation. But you only take PayPal, so I must reactivate my account. Thank you for the clarity and for your generosity. You as well as this page are awesome. Once I’ve completed my form, I would greatly appreciate it if you would, only if you have some time, to look it over. In any case, I need to get some rest. Tomorrow or Friday the latest, you’ll receive my donation.

Thank you,

Chris,

We have been totally remiss in not letting you know we received our tax exempt status on August 17th!!! We are so grateful for your expertise and guidance in helping us through that process…not to mention the savings. Thank you. Thank you.

I just learnt so much that I dint think it was possible to do by myself without an attorney.

Thank you. Seriously, what a life saver, I just wish I would have found it earlier.

I notice that the IRS-based document provided (A Complete Guide…) is missing page 6-1. I do now know if this is very crucial, but I thought I would point that out for future revisions.

Thanks again, and I will keep reading!

It’s been our bible for a couple months now as we slowly trudge through Form 1023 – we have even acquired an appreciation for all the questions they ask. We will def be using your review service! Thank you! Thank you!!! We do have a few specific questions we’d like to email you and will be donating another $50 (would that we could do 10x that!) for your time, so look for us! 🙂

I think your website is a great source of documents for starting a nonprofit.

I’ve been using it for the last several months as I put our 1023 documents together. It has the most thorough and complete information that I have come across. I would very much like you to review our documents and would welcome your comments and suggestions. I believe I have the docs in the required format and will shortly email the zip file to you and will make a payment on Paypal.

Hi Chris! This message is long overdue but I want to thank you so much for all the help you gave me in reviewing my 1040 application. It was such a daunting and complex application and I was so happy to have this web site and your assistance. I know scheduling calls between the U.S. and Africa wasn’t easy and the connection not always good but you were very patient. I am now happy to report that after about 100 days our application has been approved.

We submitted our 1023 application on January 29, 2015 and were granted our 501(c)(3) status on February 10, 2015 – an unprecedented short turn around time! We did request expedited processing, explaining that funding would not be likely absent official tax exempt status, but did not provide any corresponding letters of support from our prospective funders. We did not anticipate such a quick turn around and only learned that our application was successful when we called the IRS to ask a procedural question (well worth the 1 1/2 hour wait to get a live person). After answering our question, the IRS representative looked up our status and congratulated us. We received the confirmation letter later that day. I doubt that we would have had such immediate success without your excellent guidance. Thank you!! (P.S. We donated right after we submitted our form).

Hi Chris and Users of this site,

For the record I searched books, the web, and in person contacts for a little over a year before coming in contact with Chris and his site. I can tell you with all honesty, this guy/site is the most effective and honest Ive come to know.

Thank you Chris

Hello Chris,

I am absolutley happy, just a bit sad that I didn’t found you alot sooner. I have gone through the ringers and back. I am a one army woman that’s very comapssionate and my moto to others such as volunteers, that come to me that volunteering isn’t a job IT’S a PASSION.

I unfortunately wasn’t able to download your Articles, however typed every word myself. I owe you CHRIS and promise that I will donate. I read what you posted also as far as you aren’t seeking anyone to pay your bills. But let me be FRANK, you deserve it! If it were the case.

A while back almost a year now, a woman came to me stating that she would prepare everything for me and I could pay once everything was completed but to no prevail she failed by not doing it at all. She had all of my plans and ideas and notified me of the completeness, however I tried contacting her countless times, to arrange a day and time to pick the docs..up, NO ANSWER. Wow what an UNCLASSLESS ACT.

So you see CHRIS this is why you are set apart from all the wolves.

Thank you for helping me..

you are simply the BEST.

Happy New year 2015

Although I did not find this site until I had almost all my documents done, I am so glad I did. I started a nonprofit to help residents in the county I live in and some surrounding areas that came about after I had to close my auto detailing business and went broke with a Family of 4. After filling out piles of paperwork and waiting forever, we almost hit rock bottom until relieve finally came but not in the way of state or federal but by the community we live in. The short term I like to use for what I do is “providing assistance for those waiting for state or federal assistance”, we have a very short one page form and once we verify someone is really in need, we help them, from maybe a utility bill, gas money to get to a job interview or medical appointment, car repair if needed, maybe someone can afford to pay rent if they had an apartment but never has enough for the deposit, you get the point. Shortly after founding “Family dreams Inc.” a couple called me and said they don’t feel as if they do enough for the community so they handed me a custom Harley Davidson Heritage Softail to raffle off and said do some good with it, well on nov. 29, 2014 someone will win it and when those funds are available for distribution, you can bet I will donate to this site, until then I will share with every one! Thank you
