501(c)(3), EIN, & BUSINESS LICENSE
Q: What’s the difference between the standalone and full 501(c)(3) packages?
A: Standalone includes only the IRS filing. The full package includes EIN + business license + IRS filing.
Q: Can you file the paperwork for me?
A: Yes — we handle the entire process for all nonprofit packages.
Q: Do I have to live in the U.S. to get a 501(c)(3)?
A: No — but your organization must be based in the U.S. and have a U.S. address.
Q: Which 501(c)(3) form should I apply for — EZ or Long Form?
A: Most small to mid-sized nonprofits qualify for the EZ Form. It’s faster and cheaper. Choose the Long Form only if:
- Your projected revenue is over $50,000/year
- You expect government grants
- You’re forming a hospital, school, or large foundation
Examples of organizations that qualify for the EZ Form:
- Local food pantries
- Youth mentoring programs
- Small arts or literacy nonprofits
- Online support groups or advocacy orgs
- Small community-based charities
If you’re unsure, we’ll help you figure it out during intake.
