501c3

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.
