Can a group of non-profits setup a NON PROFIT to cover their administrative costs?

Question

Can a group of small/low level mechanics form a non-profit to help them stay in business.  This non-profit would receive tax deductible money (and private contributions) to help pay for the mechanics office, and administrative and marketing fees.  Thanks

I don't see why they can't set up a non-profit for that reason. I'm not sure all non-profits qualify to have contributions be tax deductible, though. The Small Business Development Centers can help with this for free. To find one near you: http://sbdcnet.org/tools.php

firstly my answer applies to UK

to set up a charity you need to have a Constitution , a legally
 BINDING DOCUMENT which states your aims and objectives to the group(s) of people who are benefiting from your charity

Where is your income coming from ?

Are you a registered charity ?

Also a charity has to have non-employed director or managers
i.e  a voluntary board of management,
WHO ARE IN EFFECT YOUR EMPLOYERS

I work for a charity in Scotland,so can only give advice from my point of view

The charity regulator website should be a guide  www.oscr.org.uk

Does all of this fit your criteria
