Starting a NON-PROFIT organization?
Hi, A friend and I recently started a Facebook page set out for families in need to request assistance with food, clothing, school supplies and etc.
We have already helped about 100 people.
We are running 100% off of donations and I have a few donors that have helped tremendous amounts.
But I have a hard time reaching out to donors because I am not registered.
My question is.. how do I become registered and what does this mean when I am. I do not want money. I am only looking for item donations.
Will I be out of pocket if I register..

You do not register a nonprofit like you register a car or a dog.
You file Articles of Incorporation in your home state and advertise them in two local newspapers.
You recruit a board of directors, write by laws operating policies, and a budget,
You file IRS form 1023.
It costs about $1500 and takes about a year.
A website is not a nonprofit corporation.
It is ONE MARKETING TOOL used by most nonprofits.
And children can't do it.

It will cost you a lot of money to have accounting help with filing tax returns. Most private charities don't stay operating. Maybe you can work with an existing not for profit with the same goals like a religious place.
