Im starting a non-profit with my classmates for youth in the inner city and I would like to know how to start one... have anyone started a non-profit before?

    Its easy.

    1. Write a business plan, form a board of directors, write bylaws

    2. Go to Legalzoom.com and follow the instructions - there's a small fee to incorporate your business

    3. Register with the State

    4. Apply for 501c3 status with the IRS - You can operate as a non-profit for up to 2 years until this gets approved

    Google is your friend. All the templates you need are on there.
