501(c)(3) Application Filing
We prepare and submit IRS Form 1023 or 1023-EZ applications to establish federal tax-exempt status. Each application is developed to align with IRS regulations and future funder eligibility. We carefully review your mission, activities, and financial structure to reduce delays and denials. This service positions your organization for credibility, donations, and grant funding.
Bylaws Development
We develop governance-focused bylaws that clearly define leadership roles, board responsibilities, and decision-making authority. Bylaws are aligned with nonprofit best practices, IRS expectations, and grant compliance standards. Funders often review bylaws to assess accountability and oversight. Strong bylaws help boards lead effectively and reduce organizational risk.
Articles of Incorporation
We draft and file Articles of Incorporation to legally establish your nonprofit organization. Language is carefully structured to meet state requirements and IRS charitable purpose standards. Proper Articles protect your organization and support tax-exempt eligibility. This document serves as the legal foundation for grant readiness.
State & Charitable Registration
We assist with required registrations through the Secretary of State and charitable solicitation authorities. This ensures your organization is authorized to operate and fundraise legally. Many funders require proof of registration before awarding grants. Proper registration strengthens public trust and organizational credibility.
Compliance & Reporting Calendar
We create a customized compliance calendar outlining federal, state, and charitable filing deadlines. This includes IRS filings, state renewals, charitable registrations, and governance obligations. A clear compliance calendar supports audit readiness and protects funding eligibility. Boards and leadership can confidently manage deadlines year-round.
1099 & Financial Compliance Support
We provide guidance and support with the required 1099 filings and related financial compliance tasks. Accurate reporting demonstrates fiscal responsibility and transparency to funders and auditors. This service helps nonprofits maintain clean financial records without unnecessary stress. Strong financial compliance builds funder confidence
Board Meeting Minutes & Documentation
We assist with preparing accurate board meeting minutes and governance documentation. Records reflect board oversight, approvals, and fiduciary responsibility. Funders often request these documents during grant reviews. Well-maintained documentation protects your organization and reinforces grant readiness.
Board Member Workshops
We deliver board training workshops focused on fiduciary duties, governance best practices, and grant compliance. Workshops strengthen board engagement and leadership effectiveness. Educated boards are essential to funder confidence and long-term sustainability. Sessions are tailored to new, developing, or grant-focused boards.
