Why Founders Trust Us

One partner for the entire journey

Too many missions stall before they start because founders cannot find one place to get their website built, their tax exemption filed, and their funding secured. We are that place, and we work only with nonprofits.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which service do I need first?

+

It depends on where you are. If you are not yet tax-exempt, we usually start with your 501(c)(3) filing. If you already have your determination letter but no online presence, we start with your website. On your free call we map the right order for your exact situation.

Do I have to use all three services?

+

Not at all. Each service stands on its own. Many founders start with one and add the others as their nonprofit grows. You only ever pay for what you need.

Do you work with brand new nonprofits?

+

Yes. First-time founders are exactly who we built this for. We help you establish credibility, get online, file with the IRS, and start pursuing funding, even if you are starting from zero.

I have not incorporated yet. Can you still help?

+

Yes. We guide you from the very beginning, including incorporating with your state and getting your EIN, before we prepare your IRS 501(c)(3) application.

What is the difference between Form 1023 and Form 1023-EZ?

+

The 1023-EZ is the streamlined IRS application that most small new nonprofits qualify for, and it is approved faster. On your free call we confirm which form fits and handle the eligibility check for you.

Do I need 501(c)(3) status before I can accept donations?

+

You can collect money sooner, but tax-deductible donations and most grants require recognized 501(c)(3) status. We help you get there quickly so funders and donors take you seriously.

Will my website be able to accept donations?

+

Yes. Every site we build includes Stripe donation integration, so your nonprofit can receive gifts online from day one.

How fast can you deliver?

+

Websites are delivered in 7 to 14 business days. The 1023-EZ is typically approved by the IRS within 2 to 4 weeks of filing. Grant research and your first application run up to 10 weeks.

How do payments work?

+

Every service is a flat fee with no hourly billing and no hidden add-ons. We confirm the scope and price on your free discovery call before any payment is made, so there are never surprises.

What if I only need one service right now?

+

That is completely fine. Each service stands alone, and many founders begin with the one they need most and come back for the others as they grow.
