Hiring an attorney experienced with nonprofits to handle statewide and federal applications is key. The 501(c) (3) designation comes from
22、the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), and nonprofits are expected to provide the government with such information as a mission statement, an idea of who will be assisted and by what methods, anticipated budget and board of directors, says Andrew Grumet, a lawyer representing nonprofits with the Manhat

But even with the best of intentions, nonprofits have a high failure rate: only one-third survive beyond five years, says Stan Madden, directo
24、r ofthe Center for Nonprofit Studies at the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.The best approach is to start with a business plan.
