READY TO GET YOUR NONPROFIT? IRS LOWERS THEIR FEES!
INCREDIBLE NEWS FROM THE IRS!
For years the application fee to apply for tax-exempt status was around $800.00.
Add that to the fees for filing the nonprofit Articles of Incorporation with your state, and our fees for the work necessary to fill out all the paperwork, and you'd need to come up with between $1,600.00 and $2,400.00 to get your nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation.
And to make it worse – the IRS gave themselves "up to" 180 days to approve/disapprove your application.
Not any more!
In order to ensure local organizations are legally-formed, to help provide services to people in need, the IRS has lowered their fees AND improved the approval time.
IF you qualify, the new filing fee is only $275.00, and the IRS approval time is (on average) between 7-14 business days!
A-MAZ-ING!!!
If you're ready to get your tax-exempt status approved, faster than in the past, AND for pennies on the dollar…then this is YOUR time.
For one LOW price of only $995.00, we will handle it all: your incorporation, bylaws, EIN, tax-exempt application and state filing forms. That does NOT include the filing fees; you will have to pay those separately!

Frankincense Essential Oil - How and Why to Use it!
Okay - I know this has nothing to do with setting up your nonprofit organization, but I just have to share a bit of something that happened to my hubby and me this past month. It was so traumatic for us I felt compelled to write about it, in case something like this happens to you, you'll know what to do!
So Here's What Happened
We moved into a house that was obviously cleaned by the previous residents with a LOT of bleach. Pretty sure they sprayed the bathroom walls, and the tile floors, with bleach in order to clean the grout. As bad as that was, to add insult to injury, they did not rinse off the bleach (and all of the downstairs flooring, and all the bathrooms, are tile!) Consequently, I've been really sick since the 2nd day after moving in, and my hubby followed suit after a week.
In between all our symptoms, the hubby and I have been running around like crazy, mopping the floors with just water, and then vinegar and water, and washing the walls with the same solution, to try and clean the house out.
Ahhhh - the Wonders of Frankincense!
Unfortunately, in spite of our efforts, we could still smell the chemicals...and it was still making us sick. But - I remembered about, and quickly purchased, some Frankincense essential oil! Most people have heard of Frankincense (North Star, Bethlehem, and Wise Men ring a bell?) but don't know its value and uses. Let me tell you: IT'S AWESOME STUFF! You can use it as a natural remedy for the flu or a cold, to help overcome indigestion, to reduce pain and inflammation in your muscles and joints, and as a natural antiseptic and household cleaner! It can be expensive, but a little bit of ESSENTIAL oil goes a long way. Go here for additional information on the wonderful uses and benefits of Frankincense Essential Oil.
To help clear out house of all the chemicals, I've been using it in a bowl with water to draw the chemicals out of the air; to clean the floors, in addition to the water and vinegar; and I also put it in my Diffuser to help clear the air of impurities. The house is finally starting to rid itself of the chemical/bleach smell - woohoo!
