While helping a homeschool organization in Washington, I found a nice 44 page book from WA state on forming a nonprofit.

I really liked the flowchart on page 5. It has steps to take at the State level, the Federal level, with people, planning milestones and operations milestones.
Many tasks can be some simultaneously. Some must come after another. The flowchart shows all that!
It’s a lot to digest, but it puts all the important steps in one flowchart!
I created a checklist to apply for 501c3 tax exempt status. It is sequential; it doesn’t show that many tasks can be simultaneous, but it should still be very helpful.
If you’d like helping starting a nonprofit or apply for 501c3 tax exempt status, my webinars will help !
I have several services to help homeschool groups apply for 501c3 status.
Or you can arrange a phone consultation with me.
