Question

How do I establish a non-profit organization?

Answer 1

Actually, you simply need to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS at Business & Specialty Tax Line (800-829-4933). Then you'll need to file for tax exemption using the 1023 form. You'll also need to file for tax exemption in your state.

Answer 2

In the US, you have to incorporate in a State--and you can check that state's specific requirements. You have to have a mission and prove why you should be granted nonprofit status.
