The IRS and your state government expect your new nonprofit to begin operating like a tax-exempt corporation as soon as it's incorporated. In fact, the IRS review of whether your nonprofit deserves tax-exempt status begins on the date of incorporation, and its favorable determination letter is generally retroactive to that date, regardless of how many months later that it's actually issued. It is therefore imperative that the new corporation's Board of Directors and officers be fully aware of their fiduciary and state-law duties as soon as possible, and that the corporation act like a real tax-exempt nonprofit "right out of the gate".

That's where Nonprofit Guru LLC comes into the picture.  As soon as your new nonprofit is created, or at any point in its lifespan, we can you give you and your Board of Directors the training, documents, and other tools that you need to succeed in providing “governance” to the organization so that it will continuously progress toward the achievement of its Mission while avoiding personal liability for its officers and directors. That’s all we do, and we’re good at it. Let us show you.

Our services generally begin with a FREE live video consultation with the CEO and other select stakeholders in your organization where we can learn about your organization and its Mission and answer your questions about our services, and together we can develop an action plan for how we can best help you to thrive in your nonprofit “governance” responsibilities. We will also jointly sign a Consulting Agreement, which sets forth the details of our arrangement and our individual rights and responsibilities. These initial steps set the tone for our continued business relationship where open and honest communication is a high priority.

See our “Available Services” page for information on the depth and breadth of the services that we can provide and the flexible and economical ways in which we can provide them. After our initial meeting, you can order any of our services on our "Store" page.
