If it happens to be a US public company, that information can be found on SEC filings, by following the link below.\n\nIf it happens to be a not for profit organization, you can find that from the Form 990, which is public information. Guidestar is one place you can find the 990s.\n\nIf the above don't apply, you'll have to call them and ask

The first thing you need to do is to get a 501C3 status - that would make it easier for you to actively look for funds and apply for grants. Otherwise, your best bet is through private sponsorships

If the religious organization is incorporated in the US, you should be able to contact the local Secretary of State to get the appropriate documents.\n\nIf it's not, then those documents are just internal policies.

You need to start with your states Secretary of State and apply for a Non-Profit Foundation.  Once they have issued you the incorporation papers, then, you can send a copy of that to the IRS to get your status as a 501 (c) (3) Not for profit LETTER OF DETERMINATION.   You need that (a copy) in your application for grants and you should be just fine.

To set up a non-profit (501)(c)(3), you need to do a lot.  Here's a site to begin:\n\nhttp://www.1800net.com/nprc/howto.html

You have to contact someone at that corporation directly.  Check the web for a contact, or see your statement for the phone number.

OK.  Your non-profit has a purpose statement of some kind.  Now surf the internet looking for foundations interested in your goals.  Contact them for grant application procedures and follow them EXACTLY.  Try to use the same jargon the foundation uses in describing its purposes, to the extent they fit.  There are some key words that just have to get in there: the name of a specific disease if your job it to combat it or offer support services for it.  The name of your specific mentor or inspiration (e.g., Martin Luthor King for anything about minority rights or nonviolence).  And exactly what you want the money for:  rental on a storefront, salary for an executive secretary, food to donate to the poor, whatever.\n\nDon't take the first "no" for final, if you get one.  Generally, they will tell you (you may have to ask) why your application failed.  If so, try to rewrite your application and resubmit it, curing whatever defects you can, and justifying whatever you cannot change.  For example, they may say "We don't believe in store-fronts.  You must have an office in a respectible office building."  Then you would go into detail about the prevailing conditions in your community, how each type of location is perceived by the potetial beneficiaries of your program, etc.\n\nI've done it, although not since the 1970s.  Some things are clearly faster now, due to faster communications technology.  But the principal is the same:  you must convince the foundation that your organization's goals are consistent with theirs, and that you will be effecting in meeting the goals you describe.\n\nGood luck!

A nonprofit is a corporation that has been filed under the nonprofit provisions of its state's incorporation laws.  If a nonprofit has a qualifying charitable purpose under section 501(c)(3) of the Federal tax law, then it is a nonprofit charity and has tax exempt status.\n\nIn order to get 501(c)(3) status an organization first needs to file as a nonprofit within its state and then file federal tax form 1023, and the IRS decides whether it qualifies or not.  \n\nSo, not all nonprofits are tax exempt.  If an organization is not only a nonprofit, but an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, then it is tax exempt.   To put it simply, the difference is whether the organization has to pay taxes.\n\nWhether an organization conducts business or just accepts donations has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Your Non Profit Status (501C3) may afford the development to be classified under the "gift" or donation status, more information would be required to determine that question. The most accurate answer could be found on the IRS.gov web site!

Start with Dear Sir/Madame.  Then go into a brief explanation of what the Homestead Job Corp. is. Then  explain what you would like to do and ask if there is anyway that they (the business you contact) can help.  Usually most business like to have at least 30 days  or more to decide if they want to make a donation.So include a deadline for responce or get business cards and follow-up in a couple of weeks.)  Print the letter on Homstead Job Corp. letter head paper and make sure you include a phone number for them to rach you if they have any questions.  I have collected donations over the years for our conferences and some places are generoud while others are not.  A starting place would be businesses in you neighborhood perhaps once that you contribute to like grocery stores, office supplies.  Oh.. and ask your city and state government officials to give donations.  Also the school board members like to make donations to such a worthy cause.  Good luck!

Well, if you want to just be a non-profit you could just exist, or incorporate in your state. However, if you want to become a tax-exempt organization, you'll first need to get an employer identification number, which you can do online at irs.gov. Then you'll need to apply for federal tax exempt status (Form 1023). Read IRS Pub 557 for more information. After you get federal tax exempt status, getting state is usually pretty easy, but I believe that process varies from state to state.
