Before any paperwork is prepared or fees are discussed, I will begin a complete FREE analysis of your organization including 501(c)(3) eligibility, board governance and compliance-readiness review to ensure your organization qualifies and is structured correctly for long-term compliance. As part of this initial review, I will also explain the complete state-level requirements to start, register, and operate a nonprofit in your specific state, including formation, state-level tax-exempt status (where applicable), charitable solicitation registration, and ongoing annual compliance • 501(c)(3) eligibility • Whether Form 1023-EZ or the Long Form 1023 is appropriate • Your organization's structure and activities • Any compliance or governance issues that should be addressed before filing Most nonprofit problems don't occur during the IRS application process—they occur after approval due to preventable compliance failures. My focus is to help you establish your organization correctly from the beginning, reducing compliance risk I specialize exclusively in tax-exempt nonprofit organizations. For over 30 years, I have guided hundreds of nonprofits nationwide through 501(c)(3) formation, IRS approval, corrections, dissolutions, and long-term compliance protection across all U.S. states. To get started, simply send me: 1. State of operation 2. Incorporation status 3. Brief description of your mission and planned activities Once I review this information, I'll outline the most appropriate compliance-focused path forward and provide a flat-rate proposal with clearly defined milestones. If your organization is straightforward, I'll tell you. If there are potential compliance or IRS issues, I'll identify them before any filing begins—saving you time, money, and unnecessary delays. Compliance-First Approach My approach is methodical, compliance-driven, and milestone-based. I don’t rush filings. I structure organizations correctly at the start so they remain compliant year after year, not just until the IRS approval letter arrives. Every engagement is designed to: Confirm eligibility before filing Ensure activities align with exempt purposes Prevent mission drift and private benefit issues Support ongoing IRS and state compliance Reduce the risk of revocation, audits, or grantor red flags How I Work ☑️ Calm, structured, step-by-step workflow ☑️ Clear milestones and written deliverables ☑️ Compliance protection built into every filing ☑️ Transparent expectations from day one I work strictly on a flat-rate basis. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. All funds are held securely in Upwork escrow and are not released until approved milestones are completed and you are satisfied. Services I Commonly Handle ☑️ 501(c)(3) eligibility and compliance-readiness assessments ☑️ Form 1023-EZ vs. Long Form 1023 strategy ☑️ Mission, purpose, and activity alignment for IRS standards ☑️ Governing document review for IRS-required language ☑️ State nonprofit incorporation and exemption coordination ☑️ Charitable solicitation compliance guidance (where applicable) Strategic & Compliance Advisory Experience ☑️ Public charity vs. private foundation analysis ☑️ Proper 509(a) classification ☑️ NTEE activity code selection ☑️ Retroactive 501(c)(3) status review ☑️ Annual IRS filing and compliance planning ☑️ Risk identification that could jeopardize exemption Important Note for Prospective Clients Obtaining 501(c)(3) status is only the beginning. Compliance failures after approval are the leading cause of exemption loss. Before any filing begins, I confirm eligibility, identify risks, and outline the correct compliance path so there are no surprises later. If your situation is straightforward, I’ll confirm that quickly. If it’s complex, I’ll tell you that upfront. My work is designed for organizations that value long-term protection of their tax-exempt status.
