Just the FAQs...

How long does IRS approval of tax-exempt status take?

For the past decade, the average IRS approval time ranged from 10 to 18+ months - but even with the Full 1023 Application for 501(c)3 Tax Exempt Status, Instant Nonprofit files average 4 - 6 months, eliminating 1/2 to 2/3 of the delay for our family of founders. At this time, the average approval time for Instant Nonprofit Streamlined customer applications is 4 to 8 weeks.

How can you offer faster-than-normal tax-exempt approval?

Over the course of filing thousands of 501(c)3's, we've built up a body of expertise when it comes to using the right formula for fast approval. Just as we promise to be as human as possible with our customers, we do the same with the good folks at the IRS.

Does InstantNonprofit help with grant writing or fundraising as well as filing my 501(c)3?

InstantNonprofit offers basic fundraising training & resources, 100% free upon purchase of one of our 501(c)3 Formation packages. 

We also offer professional fundraising training through a long-time partner, who raises tens of millions for a broad array of causes. 

Finally, we have a growing list of vetted grant writers who are available for introductions.

What if I already formed an LLC (or other entity), or obtained an EIN, prior to engaging InstantNonprofit?

Some customers approach InstantNonprofit for our services, hoping that they can utilize an LLC or other entity formed independently prior to engaging us.

It’s important to note that the LLC entity type is not compatible with a 501(c)3 nonprofit; if you mistakenly started an LLC for the purpose of taking a step toward starting a nonprofit, it will need to be dissolved (we can help with this). 

The correct type of entity is the Nonprofit Corporation (called a Non-Stock corporation in Virginia).

It's also important to note that even in cases where the correct entity type was filed, there is also required addenda (Purpose and Dissolution Clause), without which the IRS will reject your application.

If you filed a Nonprofit Corporation but failed to add the required language prior to starting with us, don't worry! We'll carefully examine your documents and file the proper amendment at no charge (not including government fees).

Also any EIN that is or was assigned to another entity at any time is NOT able to be applied to your new nonprofit - a new one must be obtained.

The BEST thing to do is NOTHING - it's usually better to start fresh with InstantNonprofit - because we do it all FOR you!

Can I be reimbursed, or receive a write-off against my personal income taxes, for my nonprofit startup costs?

Yes, you may choose to be reimbursed (your nonprofit can pay you back after it raises funds or receives a grant), or you can choose to write it off as a charitable donation on your personal or business income taxes.

Keep receipts for such expenditures, and it's wise to create a paper trail, such as an invoice or acknowledgement of the expense provided by the nonprofit to the source of funds.

How much does it cost, and how long does it take?

The IRS has created two paths to 501(c)3 tax-exempt status based on expected donations: 

Organizations confident that they will raise more than $50,000 in the current tax year, or any of the following two tax years (these qualify for our Enterprise Plan)

One for organizations with expected donations below $50,000/year (or do not have a clear path to exceed that amount (these qualify for our Express Plan)

 About 88% of our customers qualify for Express, while the other 12% choose Enterprise. The  IRS 501(c)3 designation is the same.

If you choose the Express Plan and then exceed your wildest fundraising dreams, there is no penalty, and you do not have to re-file a thing! You will simply report your donations to the IRS  in the following year as normal.

Your investment in service fees and government filing fees is visible on the following page when you click "get started".

Can my for-profit and nonprofit work together?

Yes. You can build a strategic partnership with your for-profit and nonprofit, however, your nonprofit will be set up as it’s own entity and operate separately from your for-profit.

If I start a nonprofit under the Express plan and exceed $50,000 in donations, what happens?

Nothing. 

While the Enterprise package is designed for larger organizations that anticipate donations exceeding $50,000 in years 1, 2 or 3, and the Express is for organizations expeting to fall below $50,000, there are no penalties for Express customers who exceed those numbers.

The IRS does not come back and make you file another application. You simply must report your revenues on the appropriate 990 tax form.

Our social impact

At InstantNonprofit, giving back is part of our mission. Through our foundation, we support causes that make a real difference in the lives of the most vulnerable. Currently, we're helping families devastated by Hurricane Helene rebuild their lives, focusing on providing direct assistance to restore shelter in the hardest-hit areas. Together, we're bringing hope and stability to those who need it most. Join us in making a lasting impact where it’s needed most.

  • Providing Essential Building Supplies: Supplying materials to restore safe and secure shelter to families and children.
  • Restoring Water and Power: Collaborating with local utilities to reinstate clean water and electricity, vital for daily living.
  • Filling Gaps in Support: Overlooked needs such as respite for overburdened parents and volunteers - because morale is as important as bricks and sticks.

Join us in our efforts, and we'll share real-time updates from those impacted positively through our shared contributions!

We're on a Mission

InstantNonprofit was born with a purpose—and that purpose has only grown stronger. From our founder to every member of our team, we share a belief that the old ways aren’t working. Long-standing institutions, out-of-touch governments and big corporations are no longer trusted to point the way forward.

It is inside this disruption that we can chart a better path forward. It’s about connection, cooperation, and meaningful action—not waiting for someone else to act, but empowering each other to create the change we want to see. We believe in the strength of community and the impact of rolling up our sleeves to forge a future of interdependence and shared progress. Let's do this - together!

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." – Gandhi
