Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Instant Nonprofit® different from other “Start My Nonprofit” companies?
Many companies advertise low prices — but only file your Articles of Incorporation. Some don’t even include your 501(c)(3) IRS application. Others leave you answering complex IRS questions alone, upsell required documents, or charge extra for basic support while you wait for approval. We do things differently. Instant Nonprofit® handles your entire 501(c)(3) process from start to finish — formation, IRS application preparation, required startup documents, and real guidance through your first board meeting. No hidden fees. No confusing add-ons. No getting stuck halfway through. And we back it with our Double Your Money-Back IRS Approval Guarantee. If you’re ready to launch the right way, we make it simple to get it DONE.
How can we have a 100% approval record for nonprofit IRS tax-exempt applications?
We make sure from the start that your mission is eligible, and that the information we submit on your behalf is clear, concise, and accurate. And unlike other companies, if the IRS randomly pulls YOUR application like a TSA airline frisk, we handle the entire "IRS Information Request" process and at ZERO cost and zero hassle to you.
Can I Write Off or Reimburse my Nonprofit Startup Costs?
Yes, you can! The fact is, most founders pay some startup expenses out of pocket while getting their nonprofit set up. Generally, these personal expenditures can be treated as legitimate startup expenses and either written off or reimbursed later (100% up to you!) once the nonprofit is up and operating - just keep your receipts! For more detail, sign up and check out today and then bring your specifics to our "Ask-Us-Anything" Office Hours (included with every package) and we’ll help you understand the right way to handle it.
