We offer fully-managed services to take your group through the incorporation and tax exemption processes. We would pair you with a specialist who would walk you through each filing and complete them on your behalf. These individuals are highly-qualified, highly-educated experts with years of experience incorporating nonprofits, filing for tax exemptions and maintaining compliance with state and federal laws. Our tax exemption services are guaranteed, so you don't have to worry about rejected filings.

 

Our basic tax-exempt package costs $1,499 and includes the following services:

​

1. Name Availability Search - We verify that the name you've chosen is, in fact available.

​

2. Nonprofit Articles of Incorporation - Your specialist will complete your articles of incorporation on your behalf and include all 501(c)(3) provisions to ensure acceptance by the IRS.

​

3. Nonprofit Bylaws - Your specialist will customize your bylaws to the state you’re filing in and you intended mission.

​

4. Federal EIN - We'll file to retrieve this number which the IRS uses to identify your nonprofit. It’s also helpful in setting up a bank account for your organization.

​

5. Conflict of Interest Policy - Your specialist will create a conflict of interest policy which applies to your board of directors. This policy is required by the IRS when applying for 501(c)(3) status.

​

6. 501(c) Exemption - Your specialist will complete the tax exemption application on your behalf. We fill it out for you, and you submit it to the IRS along with a payment of $275 or $600. The IRS estimates this filing should take about 100 hours to complete. Our experts have completed hundreds of these so can streamline the process substantially. Many applications are rejected for failing to complete them correctly. We guarantee your application will be accepted.

​

7. Registered Agent - All states require entities to appoint a registered agent to act as a point of contact for the secretary of state and for service of process. Our nationwide network of agent offices allows us to support you wherever you go.
