The Mission of Nonprofit Guru LLC is to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to create, preserve, and operate a fully compliant nonprofit corporation under your state law and tax-exempt organization under federal tax law. We can provide guidance and services for your new or existing nonprofit at every stage of its existence. We also provide assistance with many other legal questions and transactions that affect nonprofit organizations.

If you are the visionary behind the creation of a planned nonprofit organization with a charitable Mission that will improve the world, we can assist you to incorporate and obtain tax-exempt status. As you may know, these two steps are required to create a public charity that qualifies under section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax law. If you need to take either or both steps, Nonprofit Guru LLC can work with you to make sure that these two important steps are completed successfully and in a timely manner.

If you've already taken one or both of these steps either on your own or with another service provider and you need to finish the job, Nonprofit Guru LLC has the expertise and experience to provide the documentation, training, and guidance to create a sustainable tax-exempt nonprofit.

For nonprofits at any stage of development, Nonprofit Guru LLC has developed three separate “packages” of services that, in our experience, provide most of what a nonprofit needs to comply fully with its legal responsibilities and, whenever needed, to allow the nonprofit to pay salaries and provide benefits to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) without fear that doing so may jeopardize its tax-exempt status.  

Please see the “Nonprofit Creation A-Z", "Nonprofit Governance”, and “Key Employee Compensation” sections below for a full description of these three “packages”. In addition, if you have needs that don't fit neatly into one of these three predetermined packages, Nonprofit Guru LLC has the flexibility and experience to design a package of services that will both save significant cost for the organization and provide only the services that the organization really needs and wants.

We also provide nonprofit consulting services either on an hourly or fixed fee basis, for example, for additional Board training services or to attend a Board meeting. Please see the “Other Services” section below for a description of these services.
