So you are thinking about starting a new nonprofit corporation in Marin County? There are a number of factors to consider before you get started. We’ll discuss what questions you should answer before filing for incorporation and tax-exempt status as well as briefly examine the step-by-step process of incorporating a nonprofit corporation in CA.

Some of the questions we’ll consider include: What will be the mission of this new organization and how many other organizations in Marin can you identify who have a similar mission? Who, other than yourself, should be the initial incorporators/trustees? What does it meant to be a fiscally sponsored project? What resources are available to help you file the incorporation documents? What are the various incorporation/tax-exempt filing fees and who will pay them? And more!
