The Task Of Setting Up A 501C3

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.

Before someone takes on this venture they should take the time to learn how these programs operate. It does not hurt for anyone to educate themselves fully about creating bylaws, appointing board members, filing the articles of incorporation, obtaining permits, licenses and creating a mission statement.

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.

From the very beginning people who are interested in running their own company should contact their federal government agency. These workers will send them an envelope within the mail that will contain several forms that need to be filled out. All of these papers should be completed and then mailed back to the IRS. They will then go over the application and contact the person if they need additional information.

Every state within America requires that the new owners file legal documents called articles of incorporation. Each year the new program will have to pay a small amount of money to their state officials in order to keep the operation going. If someone misses a payment they will be asked to pay a late fee which can really add up.

Someone who has a flair for the English language should be able to write a "mission statement" that will capture everyone's attention. Certain groups like the "Red Cross" encourage people to make a difference in every human life. This shows that they are there to help people who are in need during disasters and other bad activities which go on.

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.

There are so many grants available throughout society and any non-profit worker would be very wise to apply for one. Government groups will sometimes offer large sums of money to keep one of these organizations in operation during the calendar year. A more viable group will always have a website available for anyone to read.
