This video podcast is an overview of the 501c3 nonprofit application process. To become a tax deductible nonprofit you need to get 501.c.3 status. To do this you must submit a form 1023 to the IRS. You must also include your nonprofit articles of incorporation and your bylaws.

In this video, I share with you the form 1023 application that I filed for Noble Paws, Inc. If you are about to file for nonprofit status this video will give you an idea of what's ahead of you.

A great book to help with this process is the "Nolo: How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation". This book includes a CD with sample bylaws and articles of incorporation. Learn more about the book at:
