You need to have an interest that you know a lot of people share. Otherwise, you will be the only member!\n\nOnce you find an interest or activity, advertise in your local community.\n\nYou might start out with small meetings at your home or in a library. As your organization grows, you might start collecting dues to rent or buy a meeeting place.\n\nGood luck!

Through your local council would probably be your best bet. However you will probably have to set up a small constituted organisation as a community voluntary organisation and apply through that. (You'll need a Treasurer, Secretary and Chairperson and maybe 2 or three other members).\n\nIs there any organisation in your area which is like a community mapping organisation that helps community voluntary sector organisations with funding applications/advice etc.\nAnyway council should be your starting point.\n\nA few organisations that you could apply to if you where to become a constituted organisation; \nBBC Children in Need.\nJoseph Rowntree Foundation.\nBig Lottery Fund Small Grants.\nRagdoll Foundation.\nGood Luck!

Like a previous post stated, your place of religious affiliation is a good start.  You can also try volunteering for a cause you believe in - you automatically hook up with like minded individuals, and you already weed out mercenary gold-diggers.

If you mean how do you become an officially recognized chapter of a national fraternity, you need to contact the headquarters of the fraternity you wish to start a colony for.\n\nMost have strict guidelines, but if you are motivated enough to rally up a good number of prospectives then there shouldn't be a problem.

The Foundation Center has a number of free resources for starting a nonprofit organization.\n\nFrom the Foundation Center: Forming a new nonprofit is a process that involves two distinct stages. Generally, you will need to establish your organization by filing articles of incorporation with the appropriate agency in your state (usually the secretary of state). You will also need to secure federal income tax exemption by filing the appropriate forms with the Internal Revenue Service. see whole article and list of resources, including an online tutorial about how to start a nonprofit at http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/starting_nonprofit.html\n\nThe IRS page with information for chaities/nonprofits is here: http://www.irs.gov/charities/index.html\n\nFor resources on grant writing for a nonproft/charity, the Foundation Center website also has information here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/individuals/\nand here: http://fdncenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/propsample.html\n\nbest of luck

Start with the people who know you best and explain the basis of your beliefs. Start with one person who agrees and have them go out and do the same thing. Pretty soon the exponential power will bring you a flock as long as the dogma you put out is believable and aligned with the people you want to teach.

your question betrays you - \n-it leads to another:  Are you qualified by education and experience to start such an organization?  \n-and another: Do you plan to run this organization?\n\nYou may have had a course on grant and proposal writing when you were in school - if not, return to your university: that may be a good starting place.

Have a clear goal/purpose for the organization.  Get experienced volunteers on board to help you. You will need by-laws as well as incorporating documents.\n\nDepending upon the state, you may be able to file through the mail or internet. Try corporation comission, tax board or other regulatory agency. Usually your state web site is the best place to start. Articles of incorporation can be very simple, just fill in the blanks. You may need to do a name search to make sure no one else has your organization's name.\nIf you wish to be tax exempt check with your state tax board and irs.gov.\nYou will have to meet different qualifications depending upon which type of exemption you are looking for.\nTake some time now and fill out all the paper work. Keep a calandar of what forms are due when.  Your organization will have yearly and possibly quarterly forms that they must fill out. Make everyone aware of this.\nIf you plan to have a small budget the expenses are low but even a larger organization should be under $500 or so.
