I obtained a 501(c)(3) for an organization. I recommend one starts with a clear vision for the business and create a business plan. One should have a formal mission statement that succinctly spells out what one is going to do. The legal framework for how one organizes the business is written Articles of Incorporation, which are filed with your Secretary of State to register as a business entity. Next is a formal application to the IRS for 501(c)(3) status. If granted you will receive a letter bestowing that status.

When I did this about 10 years ago, I ended up paying about $11,000 in legal fees. It probably can be done less expensively. Best wishes.

I’ve been convicted to start a 501c3 that helps champions for Christ with strategic planning/life planning/problem solving etc. No idea on what is involved with a 501c3. Anyone got advice or coaching on this?

There are seminars available for folks interested in establishing/maintaining 501c3 organizations.

Find one in your area ... and attend.

Google "establishing a 501c3" ... and read/study. Get books ... something lke "Establishing a 501c3 For Dummies".

I'm not blowing you off ... there's just a lot that you need to know ... and their are some helps/assistance out there to help you get started.
