Setting Up a 501(c)(3): Complete Step‑by‑Step Guide
Use this overview to understand each step. We can do it for you—accurately and on time.
Plan Your Mission & Board
Define a charitable mission (educational, religious, scientific, or charitable). Recruit an independent board (often 3+ directors). Clarify officer roles: Chair/President, Treasurer, Secretary.
Incorporate in Your State
File Articles of Incorporation with IRS‑compliant purpose and dissolution clauses. Select a registered agent. Typical fees: $50–$200 depending on the state.
Adopt Bylaws & Policies
Approve bylaws, adopt a Conflict of Interest policy, and keep signed minutes from your organizational meeting. These are required for strong governance and IRS review.
Get an EIN
Obtain a free EIN from the IRS. Needed for banking, 1023 filing, payroll (if any), and tax reporting.
Apply for Federal Tax‑Exempt Status
Prepare IRS Form 1023 or 1023‑EZ with narratives of activities, 3‑year budgets, officer/board info, and attachments (Articles, bylaws, COI policy). 1023‑EZ is for eligible small orgs; full 1023 is for larger/complex orgs.
Handle State Tax & Fundraising Registrations
Apply for state income/sales/property tax exemptions as applicable. Register for charitable solicitation before fundraising, and renew annually where required.
Open Bank Account & Launch Programs
Use your Articles, EIN, and board resolution to open an account. Track restricted vs. unrestricted funds. Begin programs aligned with your mission.
Stay Compliant Annually
File Form 990/990‑EZ/990‑N after fiscal year‑end, maintain minutes, follow your policies, renew charitable registrations, and manage grants and donor acknowledgments.
