In this course, aspiring Nonprofit startups will learn to account for the legitimacy of their organizations by gaining the proper documentation in less time and less money than it took prior to 2014. Fortunately today's technology will allow applicants to complete virtually all of their filing online. Students will learn how to complete applications leading to tax exempt status online. This will allow donors to receive tax related credit as a reward for giving to your cause. Students will also learn how to develop a project budget summary. This is important because many people are denied funding because their budget does not line up with their proposed projects. Additionally students will learn about the pros and cons of securing a fiscal sponsor and how to get one. NOTE: While the information learned will be quite useful, organizations that are absolutely certain that they will receive over $50,000 in each of the first 3 years of operation or churches that are not planning to house or operate social  or charitable services may not be able to apply through this online method.
