How much does it cost?

We had a choice to make. Either go for bottom price or top quality. For 28 years, we have emphasized quality. It's your choice, too, to choose top quality or not. We would rather be the best in town and leave it to others to be the cheapest in town.

Too inexpensive? Some people say they don't know if they should use our service: If it's so inexpensive, could there really be quality? To them, we say it's taken 28 years to simplify our service enough to bring the price down to 1/2 or 1/3 of what lawyers charge (it will be difficult to find a lawyer who has had 700 nonprofit clients apply to the IRS). Call around - see what lawyers charge.

Too expensive? Some other people say they can get it less expensively down the street. To them, we say, You can always find a cheaper pair of shoes, but don't complain if your feet hurt. (The bitterness of poor quality lasts far longer than the sweetness of low price.) Several of our clients themselves have told us lawyers and CPA's in their area have quoted $8,000 to $10,000 to do this work..

Don't have the money? Over the many years of our service to the nonprofit community, there is one thing that we have seen over and over—people who do not have the funds to get started. Almost invariably, these are people who are starting off all by themselves to accomplish their dream. For the "Lone Ranger," who cannot afford to launch his or her nonprofit, we advise you to interest others in your dream. Open up your nonprofit dreams to more people, more helpers, more contributors, more talent, etc. Gather more people around you. Share your dream.

You are going to need others for directors and officers, and these people, if they "catch" an interest in your dream, can help you financially to launch your nonprofit. Almost invariably, when someone comes to us with a group of interested people, they don't have a problem coming up with the money for our fees and those of the state and the IRS.

It's the "Lone Rangers" who have a big dream and no finances to get it off the ground that find themselves unable to move forward. They are limited not only in financial ability but also in the ability to grow a vibrant, viable organization. If your first priority is to get a group of interested people together, you'll probably have the funds to get started. Even a few people contributing a few hundred dollars each can help you carry the burden. And, of course, if you use our legal document and our procedure, those contributions will be tax-deductible.
