Belinda, Great presentation of your services.
I am interested in a sample (template) for the #1023 form submission.
The New Jerusalem Bible College & Seminary has just received accreditation (SCHED) here in Virginia Beach Virginia. I am currently the Finance Manager and is responsible for the 501(c) exemption for the school. I have the #1023 form and directions to complete it. But your site caught my attention.
How can you assist?
Thanks…George Darby
Hello George,
Your application will be somewhat complex and I don’t have any samples for you to follow.
Here are a few tips for you:
1. I suggest seeking the services of a non-profit attorney to look over your application before you submit it.
If you can’t find an attorney in your area check out Micheal Mosher at http://www.mosherlaw.com.
2. The IRS recently required colleges and universities to complete a 33 page Compliance Questionnaire.
I’m sure there will be related Form 1023 follow-up questions to applicants taken from the questionnaire.
For more insight, check out: http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=186865,00.html
3. Here’s another resource for items the IRS agent will review for applications from private schools.
http://www.irs.gov/irm/part7/irm_07-020-004.html. Check out section 7.20.4.2
I imagine they would want similar information for colleges and universities.
I hope this helps!

Hi Belinda,
Your presentation is excellent!
I am interested in starting a Music, Arts and Nutrition non-profit organization for children ages 5 to 16. When I grew up, we had the privilege of participating in a number of music and arts programs. These programs helped with my academic success. As we grow as a nation, I find that children are not offered in the same privileges. As such, I would like to offer a music and arts program for the children in my community and surrounding areas. I plan to offer a nutrition program, which provides children with the means of eating healthy and maintaining a healthy diet – coupled with dance I believe we can fight childhood obesity.
My Pastor has offered for me to use a vacant building, that is currently on the church premises. I would pay rent and the church would also benefit from this organization.
Having said all that, I would like to know if any of the kits offered on your site would be beneficial to me and my goal. Would it be a good idea to partner with my church on this venture? Please let me know your thoughts!
What is the cost for completing the necessary paper for me to obtain a 501c3?
Thanking you in advance for your response.
Gpd bless.
Looking for example of 501c3 for non profit private school do you have one. I used your church example and get IRS exemption in less than 90 days.
Hi Twis,
Congrats on your 501c3 approval!
We don’t have a sample kit for a school.
Belinda
Thanks, do your firm complete 501(c)(3) for private non-profit school in the state of Florida. If so what is the price?

Hello Michael,
What a wonderful vision. Most of your efforts fall within the 501c3 code.
The sample kit for outreach ministries or either one of the transitional living programs would be a good example for you to use as a guide.
You can follow our sample narratives as a guide to describe your “Assisting NPO’s …” project.
You’ll want to really be careful how that one’s worded as it could be perceived as for-profit consulting services.
You’ll want to do some strategic planning with a non-profit attorney as you start to incorporate the business ventures.
Blessings,
Belinda
Hi Belinda, I am in the process of starting a ministry (church) and I wanted to know if the 501c3 I do now will cover my transitional/haven housing program for women…1.do I list this as a program under the same application or 2. will it go under a separate filing?
I was thinking to use your church sample application.

Hello Christopher,
Below are my responses to your questions:
#1 – Yes you can start the process. The state may require you to disclose the nature of your past when you apply with the state for approval to solicit donations.
#2 – Yes it costs money. The IRS will charge up to $850 to review your application.
#3 – What proposal? Are you referring to the programs and activities in response to Form 1023?
If you are referring to a proposal to get hire me to do the 501c3 application, I don’t need a proposal.
Just download the form from my website at http://churchcpa.com/501c3-application-service/
#4 – You must be incorporated and registered within the state to solicit donations.
I hope this helps.
Peace and Blessings,
Belinda

Hello Todd,
You may want to use the sample kit for Outreach Ministries.
You will need to do some customizing to describe your specific activities.
You can follow my samples to see how much detail to include and how to address a lot of the other questions on the Form 1023.
Peace and Blessings!

Hello Ms. Whitfield,
I am interested in starting a non profit preschool in NJ targeting low to middle income families. It is not affiliated with a church. Do you think your company would be able to assist me?
Thanks.
Kiru
Hello Kiru,
Sorry for the delayed response, as God has me on a special assignment to serve as CEO/President of Covenant Bank for the next 6 months.
I’m currently not taking any new 501c3 clients as this is my busy season for Whitfield & Associates (with year end reporting and tax returns).
I wish I could be of more assistance to you. But contact me after 5/15 if you’ve not moved forward with your project by then.
