Setting Up A 501C3 Can Be Fun

By Eloise Hewitt


Many individuals around would like to own and operate their own business in the near future. This is why so many people will try setting up a 501c3. These are non-profit organizations that are created each and every day of the year in America and other countries. The very smart individual will always try to make their program different than the others that are around.

Each new business should file papers for incorporation, choose a new name, create bylaws, appoint board members, write a mission statement, apply for grants and apply for tax exemptions. This will be a very long quest for the person who has never entertained this idea before. Each of these steps are very important to the person who is really serious about starting his/her organization. Everyone who creates a certain program must always stick to these rules.

Choosing a name for these programs can usually be quite simple for anyone. Some people already have a few titles written down when they first get the idea for this certain event. The name should always be very original and have a good meaning that everyone can understand. People should try to avoid using someone else's title when they are in this process. Someone can easily search the internet in order to find out if a title is currently in use.

When a good name is chosen the future owner should take the time to call their government workers. Usually this group of individuals can also be located over the internet. Once contact is made they will mail the organizer a few papers that have to be completed. After they are finished every form should be returned to this government group.

People who are wise in business know that they will have to file their incorporation papers within the state that they live. Once these papers are filled out and filed then the individual or group can begin to gather their staff for this very important project. There is a small fee for filing this paperwork and it should be paid each year by the head of company.

Take the time to write out a good "mission statement" that will be used to educate consumers. Many people will usually tell all about their great achievements and future endeavors within this statement. Sometimes these particular writings can be very short and at times they may be longer. The "Red Cross" has a great reading that really gets to the point.

Every company should always have a board of directors since these people will make the decisions about what goes on within the program. The board members are usually people who will not accept a salary for their efforts. Many of these individuals are working as volunteers who want to help others in their time of need. It is not unusual for retired individuals to join this particular group.

The person in charge of this new non-profit organization will apply for certain grants once the government approves everything. Sometimes each organization is able to obtain a huge sum of money when they apply for these donations. To help things move quicker the head of this new organization should always design a website about the program. After this is done everyone can now view this new creation.
