I too have a passion for horses. I have started a non profit and became exempt in 2007. I would be glad to offer some advice. I did not use an attorney to become a non profit. You are capable of doing that on your own and saving that expense. We have just had our first rodeo in our arena. We are located in Tennessee. Look up the West Tennessee Expo Center some time. It 's not much now but we have great hopes. Our plan is to complete the project by adding an indoor riding arena too. Hope this helps.
Saint Jean Baptiste Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization. Saint

increase their chances of entering the juvenile detention and becoming
criminal. Saint Jean Baptiste Foundation is a source for counseling and
guidance to rebuild and restore family values in our community.

My name is Matt. A few years ago I started a non-profit organization to encourage students to pursue careers in science, math and technology. There's a tremendous shortage of engineers and scientists in the country. I thought this was a need I could help with. For awhile, I worked on it while also having a regular "day" job as a software programmer and website developer. Earlier this year, I realized the workload had become too much to have two full-time jobs, so I left my "day" job to focus on the non-profit. Of course, this isn't a good time for non-profit organizations or charities. In fact, donations and grants are almost zero at this point.
The organization is the Aerospace Research & Engineering Systems Institute, Inc., http://www.aresinstitute.org. If you visit the website and click on the "About" link, you can read more about it and there's also a link to the official IRS registration of our 501 c(3) tax-exempt status.
So, here's the situation...
Since the spring, I've put as much as I can into the company from my personal assets to keep it alive. I've sacrificed my car, luxuries like cable TV (ALL luxuries, in fact) and have even reduced my food budget to next-to-nothing. I'm actually relying on friends donations of food and household items otherwise I'd be down and out for sure.
I do NOT have any credit card debt; do NOT have student loans; have NOT lived beyond my means; and I have never bought luxury items or things not necessary to live. In short, I live within my means and sacrifice as much as I need to. I haven't been foolish by running up credit cards, buying a house or car that I can't afford or going to movies and vacations when I can't afford it. In other words, I know I'm doing the right thing and playing by the "rules" such as they are.
I'll also point out that I have been employed, full-time, since the 1990's. I still work every day, 12+ hours, and don't intend to change that.
So, no debt, full-time job, what's the problem? The problem is that I put so much into the non-profit that I am not exactly financially self-sufficient right now. Worse than that, more importantly, the non-profit (like many these days) is struggling to remain viable. There's just no money out there it seems.
Because of that, I'm turning to any resource I can find on the internet and off in order to ask the good people who are around for assistance. I'm not asking for any specific amount - $1 or $100, it's all helpful. It will help me personally as well as my company as it tries to make it through the recession as well.
If anyone out there can help, please contact me or use the PayPal Donate button on the homepage of our website. Either way works for me. I can't offer anything in return except eternal gratitude, although I wish I could do more.
I admire the venture you have taken on. I don't have info to offer you in terms of getting this going, but as a Director of agency providing services to adults with autis, I can tel you we would love to become your first customers. Good Luck, Terri
I found out that the grant program that I was waiting to find information about housing grants is not for public it is only for non-profit organizations.....so where are the programs for the public to access????
I am a member of the Boy Scouts of America in the Pickens District of the Blue Ridge Council. I am looking to raise $17,000.00 in support of the Pickens District to ensure that under privileged boys are able to enter into scouting in our area. The Blue Ridge Council has established a legacy of ensuring that no boy is left out of scouting due to financial means. The Pickens District supports this philosophy in ensuring that every boy interested in scouting in our District are able to participate. We are seeking your help in making this possible for the youth of the Pickens District. Donations can be made at our District website on the home page. The page can be found at http://bsapickensbrc.webs.com. Please support Scouting and the youth that desire to be part of it.
The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and through nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
HELLO NICE PEOPLE! COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW I WOULD GO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF STARTING UP A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND GETTING A GRANT OR ASSISTANCE WITH COSTS. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A BUILDING IN MY TOWN AND RENOVATE IT SO THAT I CAN PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL CARE TO CHILDREN OF THIS COMMUNITY WHO ARE UNDERPRIVILEGED OR JUST HOME ALONE AFTER SCHOOL. I WANT TO PROVIDE TO THEM A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE ASSISTED WITH THEIR SCHOOL STUDIES, PROVIDED BY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE COMPUTERS AVAILABLE FOR THE OLDER TEENS SO THAT THEY COULD ACQUIRE COMPUTER LITERACY, A SKILL THAT IS A NECESSITY OF THIS SOCIETY. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER CREATIVE ART CLASSES IN PAINTING, POTTERY, BEADING AND CRAFTS. YOU KNOW THE SAYING.....ALL WORK AND NO PLAY. THIS WOULD BRING SOME FUN-TIME INTO THEIR STUDIES, MAKING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE MORE ENJOYABLE. THIS IS A MUCH NEEDED FACILITY AND PROGRAM IN MY TOWN, IT WOULD BRING ME ULTIMATE JOY TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IT.

My name is Michael and I wish to start a non-profit organzation that would enrich the lives of those physically handicapped. However since I have never done this before, I truly don't know where to start. In fact I have never "posted" anything in my life.
The premise behind my non-profit organzation would be horse riding. The benefits of horse riding are both psychological and physiological. The program I wish to develop would build confidence and self esteem. It would help in developing coordination and balance; affords freedom of mobility not usually available to the handicapped. It would offer outdoor or indoor fun and a sense of accomplishment. It would further allow able-bodied and disabled people in the community to work together, as well it would allow riders to develop some sort of independence not readily available to them.
I realize this endeavor is a mighty one. My wife to be grew up around horses and has managed a horse ranch herself for a number of years in Maryland. We have contacted horse trainers in our area and realitors who have shown interest in this project. It's just getting the ball rolling. Who do we have to see, what exactly do we have to do, what forms are neccessary etc. This is where we are at a lost. I started here with this posting in hopes of being guided in the right direction. Any help in our endeavor/dream, is most welcomed and deeply appreciated.
We would be happy to answer any questions to those who are interested in helping us achieve this endeavor. Thank-you for reading this!
I have discovered the world of 501c3 and 1023 forms...and that incorporation is the way to proceed. And that to receive any monies through fund raising I first have to be a non-profit. I have already composed a "statement of purpose"...so my next step is to contact an attorney, an attorney that would consider doing it pro bona? Obviously this would be of immense help! However, I'm beginning to think that pro bona means "fat chance" in Latin. We will continue to persevere.
I have a seventeen year old daughter who will be entering college in the fall. here in Washington DC. Her tuition for the fall semester is paid for. However, I sincerely need help in paying for her books which I'm told will cost about 1200.00 Any one know of any programs that can assist me in paying for her books?
