I suggest you work for a similar organization first.  Get into learning the process of writing grant proposals, how to gain funding, and study their business model so you can do something similar.

Call the church office and ask them for their nonprofit id.\n\nWith love in Christ.

You NEED to get in touch with your local American Cancer Society!\n\nThere are programs available to you such as:\n\nI Can Cope, Look Good Feel Better, and Reach To Recovery\n\nMost ACS offices keep a log of local support groups, as well.  \n\nI have listed the website fr the ACS as well as the 800 number.  These are both completely free and might be able to get you on your way.\n\nIf you need more help, just email me and I will contact your local ACS for you!\ntkdista02@yahoo.com\n\nI am the Team Development Chair for our Relay For Life and also think that is a great place for you and your family - as well as friends!  It helped us so very much when my sister went through it (for 18 months).  We buried her in August of last year.  She is the epitome of the HOPE that IS Relay.  The community that Relay provides for you to become a part of really helps to provide HOPE and to see that a cure for all cancers is out there!\n\nGood luck!\n\nT

Your State's Federal offices should be able to point you in the right direction. You may also want to consult an attorney before doing this as a non-profit is extremely complex to implement and maintain

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

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.

You need to consider setting up a non-profit organization. I don't think you are going to be successful in soliciting donations without this status. Or, maybe you could partner with a non-profit in your area that has the same goals?\n\nA nonprofit organization (abbreviated "NPO", or "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is an organization whose primary objective is to support some issue or matter of private interest or public concern for non-commercial purposes. Nonprofits may be involved in an innumerable range of areas relating to the arts, charities, education, politics, religion, research, sports or some other endeavor.\n\nIn the United States, nonprofit organizations are normally formed by incorporating in the state in which they expect to do business. The act of incorporating creates a legal entity enabling the organization to be treated as a corporation under law and to enter into business dealings, form contracts, and own property as any other individual or for-profit corporation may do.\n\nIn the United States, after a recognized type of legal entity has been formed at the state level, it is customary for the nonprofit organization to seek tax exempt status with respect to its income tax obligations. That is typically done by applying to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), although statutory exemptions exist for limited types of nonprofit organizations. The IRS, after reviewing the application to ensure the organization meets the conditions to be recognized as a tax exempt organization (such as the purpose, limitations on spending, and internal safeguards for a charity [1]), may issue an authorization letter to the nonprofit granting it tax exempt status for income tax payment, filing, and deductibility purposes. The exemption does not apply to other Federal taxes such as employment taxes. Additionally, a tax-exempt organization must pay federal tax on income that is unrelated to their exempt purpose.[2] Failure to maintain operations in conformity to the laws may result in an organization losing its tax exempt status.\n\nAlso in the United States, individual states and localities offer nonprofits exemptions from other taxes such as sales tax or property tax. Federal tax-exempt status does not guarantee exemption from state and local taxes. These exemptions generally have separate application processes and their requirements may differ from the IRS requirements. Furthermore, even a tax exempt organization may be required to file annual financial reports at the state and federal level.\n\nCapacity building is an ongoing problem faced by nonprofits that rely on external funding to maintain their operations, largely because nonprofit organizations have little control over their source(s) of revenue. Increasingly in the United States, many nonprofits rely on government funds to support their operations, often through grants, contracts, or customer-sided subsidies, such as vouchers or tax credits. Some nonprofits may also rely primarily on support from charitable foundations and donations. Changes in these sources of revenue may influence the reliability or predictability with which the organization can hire and retain staff, sustain facilities, or create programs. Increasingly, there are few sources of revenue that allow nonprofits to develop their organizational capacities.

Well, I'm not sure this will totally answer your question but here's a site that might get you started.  There might be classes with your Chamber of Commerce or other humanitarian organzations in your area that might be offered to help you get started.\n\nhttp://www.lds.org/ldsfoundation/ways/default/0,8113,1356-1-9-23,00.html

What exactly do you mean by a paid charity?\nDo you mean a for-profit organization that helps the needy?\nDo you mean a not-for-profit organization with paid employees?\n\nNot really sure. In either case, you would probably want to contact your state or local government offices regarding business development, trade-name registration, etc. Your state might have a business committee that could help, or even the chamber of commerce.\n\nNon-profit businesses must follow quite strict rules. Get help so that you don't run afoul of the law.

start a web site to take donations, or "cash advances", try putting it on my space, the word will spread quickly since it's for a good cause. contact your local radio channels, for nonprofit causes most will run adds free, or at least a discount. encourage your community to get involved. maybe visit some larger businesses in your area, and encourage them to sponsor or contribute to the cause. Promise free advertising, and new loyal costumers, that should help. Good Luck, and I hope everything works out.
