To Be or Not to Be a 501(c)(3)
by Paola Prestini• Creating a non-profit-step-by-step
You have a great idea, a great group of people with diverse talents, the drive, and the energy. Maybe it's time to start a 501(c)(3)! To start, you'll need to carefully consider several questions:
• Why do I want to start a non-profit?• Is my mission clear?• Do I want to form my own non-profit, or should I join forces with an existing
group?• Is my idea original? What is it’s lifespan?

Why Start a 501(c)(3) ?
• Getting your 501(c)(3) status is a long and arduous process, but it is ultimately very rewarding. This community links you with other artists and individuals and you can apply for grants once you are approved by the IRS, but starting a non-profit also means you are doing something that nurtures your community.
• It means you are working towards a larger good and have a mission in mind that is clear and does not have a visible time limit. The beginning is nebulous, but the more questions you ask, and the more determined and adventurous you are, the more this path can lead to amazing and fulfilling results.
