  • Questions to ask yourself before forming a nonprofit
  • The benefits and responsibilities of nonprofit, tax-exempt status
  • The process of incorporating and applying for tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (including a brief discussion of the new Form 1023-EZ)
  • Legal responsibilities of a nonprofit board
  • Alternatives to consider, including fiscal sponsorship
