Form1023.org Reviews & Testimonials from Real Nonprofits

Chris I wanted to share the great news with you, Thank you so much for all your help, I don’t think I could have done it without you. We received our Tax Exemption Status from the IRS today!!! This is very exciting news for us. Thank you again,

They are lifesavers and well worth the small donation I sent. Keep up the good work. Also, may I contact you regarding a big organization application? I would be happy to compensate you for your valuable knowledge. I will send you an email as well.

Sincerely,

You’re an excellent writer. More importantly you give everything for nonprofit. The documentations for the article of incorporation and bylaws is wonderful. I will give the donation for the money on Monday (3/3/2014).

I am retired and it will be a long journey to get the IRS ready, and then I will hope to your consultation ($275.00). Maybe we can give more…

Thank you very much…

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for creating this website. It is pure genius!! It is assisting me with my up incoming non profit reentry program. The paperwork can get frustrating but your website keeps me inspired. Thank you !!

Chris,

You are a National Treasure! You are a man of integrity; a man who shares without expecting anything in return; a man who gives freely of his time to help all of us to begin worthy projects. Thank you for your kind response emails to my questions. I have one more hurdle and hope that you can help me jump it cleanly. I made a small donation but intend to keep making small donations until they all add up to something larger than small. Thank you Chris!

So, after finding this site, reading all the feedback (loved the one where you put the person in their place; thanks for being real, Chris Sorbi), and realizing I will be using this extensively, I donated because I knew this will be a good resource. I figured that I could pay an attorney AT LEAST $2,000 that I don’t have to file my paperwork for me, or I could make a small donation to keep this site alive and say thanks for the help.

So, get this: I donated less than a tenth ($200) of what I could have paid to an attorney. It’s after 10 PM, and I get an e-mail from Chris Sorbi minutes later thanking me for my generous donation and asking me if I meant to donate that much and that he’d be happy to refund my donation if the amount was made in error.

I knew I felt good about donating, but now I know that I’ve never made a better choice. If anyone wants me to forward the e-mail, contact me: lleavitt@sileducation. I can’t believe it. I also already have the email with the links for the documents.

Keep up the open source work, dude.

Good luck to everyone in their respective causes!

I’m in the process of filing Form 1023, and your information/direction is helping tremendously. I donated, and will continue to regularly support this site as my organization develops because I will be regularly coming back!

Hello,

Thank you so much for helping others be successful with fulfilling their goals by putting up this site. I am truelly grafeful that you cared enough to show others get a little closers to what they are trying to do. I will make a donation to this site very soon.

I also agree with what the other person said earlier about how attorneys and others charge a ridicilous amount to help. However you cared. I am very grateful. I can’t wait to make a donation.

I can’t thank you enough for this website. I have been struggling with our 1023 for months. I don’t think I would have ever been able to do it without your wonderful explanations. People like you make this world a better place.

Thank you so much,

Hi Chris,

Concerning the “do not copy and paste”…I’m almost to the point of sending you all of our documents to review. I did however copy and past portions of your information..I’m just about burned out on putting this together, and just want it over with. I did, where it was most important, put things in my own words. Will this somehow disqualify me since some of it is word for word from you??? (tell me it isn’t so)

In order to figure out 1023 form, since January this year, I have talked to friends of friends, attorneys and CPAs. Your page was like an oasis, however. It answered all my questions and gave me peace of mind. Now, I am actually able to work on my application. Attorneys and CPAs charge ridiculous amounts.

Thank you for the very helpful and informative website. I also enjoyed your eyeopening and terrifying read on church tax-exemption.

The most helpful thing is knowing why each question is asked – extremely helpful when constructing answers. I volunteered to help out a local wild bird rescue organization and spent weeks using the site, step by step. I mailed the application on February 19 and the group received their determination letter May 20 – no questions asked! Awesome! Just sent off a small donation!

One quick question. If I copy and paste the examples you provided here, will it cause any issues with IRS guys, assuming that many folks must have done the same thing as I might to favor, so the IRS may have hundreds of same stories except the names, of course?
