We prepare your IRS Form 1023-EZ in the exact language the IRS expects, review every answer with you line by line, and guide you through filing. No guesswork, no fear of getting it wrong.
A 501(c)(3) is a nonprofit organization that the IRS has formally recognized as tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The designation comes from the IRS, not from your state. Once you have it, your organization pays no federal income tax on mission income, your donors can deduct their gifts, and most foundations and grant programs will accept your application. You apply for it on IRS Form 1023-EZ or on the full Form 1023.

We specialize in the 1023-EZ: faster to prepare, faster for the IRS to approve, and a fraction of the cost of the long-form 1023. On your free call we run all 34 IRS eligibility questions with you before anything is prepared. If the EZ is not your right fit, we tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
We confirm the 1023-EZ fits your nonprofit and map anything missing, like incorporation or your EIN.
Your full application in IRS-approved language, then a line-by-line review together so you understand it all.
We walk you through Pay.gov step by step. Typical IRS approval lands in 2 to 4 weeks.
After IRS approval, most states also require a charitable solicitation registration before you fundraise. We handle that too.

We tell you honestly on the free call, before you pay anything, and point you to the right path for the long-form 1023.
Most 1023-EZ applications we prepare are approved within 2 to 4 weeks of filing.
Form mills leave you to guess at the answers that matter. Your application is prepared and backed by licensed nonprofit attorneys, reviewed with you line by line, and we do not submit until every answer is right.
You can collect money sooner, but tax-deductible donations and most grants require recognized status. Separately, most states require a charitable solicitation registration before you ask for donations at all. Many founders launch their website during the review so they are ready the day approval lands.
