If you’re starting a nonprofit or want to clean up your foundation, this service covers everything funders check first. We help you file your 501(c)(3) status (whether Form 1023-EZ for smaller groups or full Form 1023 for larger orgs), obtain your EIN, and complete all state registrations.
We’ll guide you through creating and updating your articles of incorporation, bylaws, and governance documents, your “birth certificate” and rulebook. We also help you form a strong Board of Directors, with clear roles and professional CVs, so funders see leadership they can trust.
You get conflict of interest policies, risk management plans, and help securing general liability and workers comp insurance to protect your organization. Finally, we set up your SAM.gov registration and Unique Entity ID (UEI), which are required to apply for federal grants.
