Starting a Nonprofit for Success
Launching a nonprofit is about more than paperwork—it's about creating a strong foundation for sustainable impact. Our Compass plan provides expert guidance through every stage of the startup process, ensuring your organization is established correctly, efficiently, and in compliance with federal and state requirements.
What's included with the Compass Plan
01
Articles of Incorporation
We prepare and file your organization's Articles of Incorporation with the appropriate state agency, creating the legal foundation for your nonprofit. No hidden fees or additional costs. Filing fees included with the Compass plan.
02
Employer Identification Number (EIN)
We obtain your organization's federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, enabling your nonprofit to open bank accounts, apply for grants, hire employees, and conduct business.

Form 1023 Preparation & Submission
Our team completes and submits your IRS Form 1023 (or Form 1023-EZ, if your organization qualifies) to apply for federal tax-exempt status. We ensure your application is accurate, complete, and prepared for successful review. There are no hidden fees or additional cost, filing fee included with the Compass plan.
