Books That Can Help
__________________________________________________________________________
Happily, there's lots of information available to help you define your goals, select the type of non-profit to become, get incorporated, and become a federally-recognized non-profit.
Here are some suggestions -
Maybe the best book to get you started is Anthony Mancuso's How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation. It's published by Nolo Press. The book includes a disk with samples of the documents you'll need to form a corporation in your state and all the federal forms you'll need to complete to become a federally-recognized non-profit. If you're only going to get one book to guide you, this (in our opinion) is the one to get.
