OUR NONPROFIT FORMATION PROCESS

TOGETHER WE WILL GO THROUGH A COMPLETE 9-STEP PROCESS TO BRING YOUR NONPROFIT

ORGANIZATION TO LIFE!

We'll start by diving into your vision and your mission goals. From there we will create a startup formula plan to not only formalize your nonprofit legal structure, but to develop an operating strategy for your business in accordance with how the most successful nonprofits operate!

Starting a tax-exempt nonprofit is a huge responsibility, and the paperwork can be extremely difficult, but no need to worry about it. We'll be guiding you through the whole process, with our step by step system, answering your questions, offering support, and congratulating you each step of the way as we reach each mile marker towards completion of the formation and startup process!

When we're done you won't just have a formalized business structure, you'll have a complete business infrastructure that can be used to generate funding, start community programs, or qualify for loans and lines of credit to grow your church or ministry!

This is the first and only nonprofit building and implementation program created with YOU and your vision in mind.

Here’s the month-by-month breakdown of how we’re going to set you and your nonprofit startup on the path to success:

MONTH 1

YOUR VISION, MISSION & STRATEGY

You’ll get clear on your nonprofit vision and know exactly what steps to take to solidify your niche idea, who you’re serving, and why it’s unique so you instantly stand out from the crowd. We’ll also lay a rock-solid business strategy foundation for your nonprofit, from your vision and mission statement to your funding plan.

MONTH 2

YOUR CEO PROMOTION

As soon as you become crystal clear on your vision, mission and business strategy, you will develop your corporate structure with your first board in place.  During this time you will hold the most critical first board meeting that activates the first level of your corporate leadership and status.

MONTH 3

TAX-EXEMPT & CLARITY

Getting your corporation in place is one thing. Being able to clarify your vision on paper to get federally recognized tax-exempt status is another -- one that you’ll be able to hit a home run in by the time we’re done.
