Non Profit Creation Advice
by Margaret Reardon 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Happy New Year all- Once again I am coming to the NEOHIOPAL hive for advice. I am working up a proposal to apply to become a 501(c)3 nonprofit, which will be separate from my LLC, to create opportunities for arts based programming and education. I would love to hear from people who have done this especially in the last few years. Did you use a lawyer? How did you handle the costs? I have a good sense of what goes into the process and the responsibilities as I have a degree in nonprofit management. I just want to hear from people who have done it. Please contact me at @margaretreardon@margaretreardonmarketing.com Thanks in advance! Margaret Margaret Reardon Margaret Reardon Marketing LLC www.margaretreardonmarketing.com
