How do I start a nonprofit to help alleviate poverty?

Starting a nonprofit involves several steps. First, you need to define your mission and goals. What specific aspect of poverty do you want to address?

I want to focus on providing education and job training.

That's a great focus! Next, you'll need to choose a name for your nonprofit and check if it's available. Have you thought of any names?

I was thinking of 'Empowerment Through Education'.

That's a strong name! After that, you'll need to file for nonprofit status, which includes creating bylaws and applying for tax-exempt status. Would you like more details on that process?

Yes, please! What are the steps to apply for tax-exempt status?

To apply for tax-exempt status, you'll need to fill out IRS Form 1023. This form requires detailed information about your organization, including your mission, programs, and finances. It's important to be thorough!
