Anybody know how to go about registering a non-profit and setting up accounts and such?

I've heard that it all has to be set up BEFORE a lottery ticket is bought if the winnings are to be going to the non-profit... does anyone know how that works?

Hi, Topper!

You can get the information about setting up a nonprofit

on-line. There are scads of places that have really good -- accurate --

information. Nolo Press publishes a book and software to help with getting

things started. The IRS and each states secretary of state will have

further information so that all of the basics are covered.

The organization has to be incorporated as one of the first steps,

then file for nonprofit status in the state of incorporation and with the

IRS. Approval, by the way, is not automatic in either case.

Only after the incorporation is complete can bank accounts be

opened. The banks will want to see the papers. That is part of the new

" Homeland Security " measures, as well as, good banking rules.

Incorporation should not be handled only as a DIY project. An

attorney who is experienced in non-profits needs to be consulted to ensure

that all of the " t " s are cross, etc.

Thanks, Dianne.....

Considering how much money my dad invested in get himself incorporated when he patented his first invention.. that kind of expense pretty much puts us out of the running as far as getting this done BEFORE our fantasy of winning a lottery to fund the clinic.

Figures...

Good Morning, Topper,

There is a way around this " get started " stuff. If we could find

another nonprofit that would allow us to operate under their nonprofit

umbrella for the time it takes to get everything done, then we could accept

donations toward the cost of getting the incorporation done and the rest of

it.

Incorporating a nonprofit is less expensive than one would

think. I will do some looking around for information on the costs

involved. The filing fees for the IRS and state are usually low

enough. The biggest hurdle is getting the nonprofit's

incorporation. After that, although there are costs, they are much lower.

To work under another nonprofit organization's NP status, they

would have to open a separate checking account or savings account in order

to have their funds separated from ours. The fees would have to be paid by

us to the umbrella group. Bank service charges vary, but they aren't that

high.

Those who are really interested in this process would make

contributions and those funds would be held in the umbrella group's control

until we obtained our own NP status.

So who knows a nonprofit group that would allow us to do this? We

can offer them a donation of a percentage of the funds raised until we can

" stand alone " for the use of their NP status.

What kind of fund-raising ideas can you come up with? We would

have to disclose that the funds are being raise " In order to become a

nonprofit organization " and would not be tax deductible until that status

is achieved.

Do any of us know how to prepare the annual tax returns that are

required? That person becomes the treasurer.

The president and vice president need to be familiar with meeting

requirements for the state in which we become incorporated. There are ways

around having face-to-face meetings since we all live so far

apart. Whatever method we use, we have to arrange for a transcript of the

meeting to be made into minutes and distributed.

This is the second or third time I have seen this mentioned. How

about giving feet to the thing?

Topper,

I think you have a great idea, and that you should go for it in a

serious way. Obviously, you probably need some time to rest up and get

healthier. But what a cool goal you have to look forward to: starting

your own clinic!

Why not really give it a go? I imagine a lot of people and

organizations might want to donate money to launch that sort of

project. Examples: various thyroid organizations, Shomon (patient

advocate and author of numerous books, c'mon, she's gotta have some

spare change ), the Patch foundation, maybe even the people

that manufacture Armour.

Patch is struggling for money... I actually have a fantasy of winning a couple million bucks and donating it to him.

He's still not been able to build the hospital they want.

But I sure got a kick out of hearing that there is a waiting list of doctors in the thousands that will give up their practices to work with him and his ideals of patient care... that's why I have to fear of finding good docs for thyroid/adrenal care.

I do know that a competent facility is BADLY needed. With the ideas that I have to reduce overhead, make it as close to a self sustaining facility as possible.... folks that are unable to pay for care or transportation giving of themselves to help make the place work.... on the order of come to the clinic and spend a week, get your labs, counseling and such and help with the chores around the place. I have a feeling that we'd not be at a loss for plenty of folks to take care of most tasks thus saving the expense of hiring cooks, and gardeners (organic fruits and vegies to be grown on site), laundry, all that kind of stuff...

Can anyone here that is without insurance and struggling to come up with money for docs and meds say that they would not be willing to spend some time helping out with chores that they are able to do to 'pay' for the doc and the labs and some training in meals/foods and exercise and such?

sigh... I have to focus on what I need to do today.. I can't get back into 'clinic' mode right now!!! hehehehehehe Major project is to get a motherboard before this last one goes and I can't get online at all.
