For the record, becoming a 501c non-profit requires tons of paperwork! I know....we filed for 501C status for our Competition!
Good luck!

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
We had to go through that 501C-3 paperwork too, for each church and for the ministry covering. It is a pain, but we got a professional to help us - a guy in Ohio. That's part of what his company does for churches. I'm not sure if he works with other para-church organizations or not. Steven, if you would like to talk to him, let me know.

Seeing these comments and knowing you are from the same state, I question whether the level of difficulty varies from state to state. I am somewhat familiar with several 501C3 orgs in MO and have not heard that it is tough to acheive.
I have a legal advisor working on this (investigating) pro bono and I'll let you know what we discover.
Thanks!

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
Serious question: I know we have a few legal folk on here...
Since this will be non profit and for a good cause, even benefiting the church, is anyone out there qualified and willing to handle the legal work pro bono. I am sure we could work it as a tax break for value of the services rendered.

Yes it is pricey... I think Kristin got the commuter version this year.

Oh boy, I paid for those ABeka videos and then DVD's for many many years! It was $1,000 per year back then; not sure how much it's gone up.

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
Thank you to those who responded by PM.
Next question...
If this happens we will need a name for the foundation.
I am likely going to provide the primary funding - at least initially. However, I am not fond of using any part of my name. I have considered using a cute name of some sort - incorporating a word like "cinder" "ashes" or "soot" but I think that would limit the appeal of the foundation when soliciting funds. We want the broadest appeal possible, with hopes of giving away tens of thousands of dollars or even more, in the future.
Any suggestions?
Steve
