So you have an idea, a vision that can improve lives...

impact communities, and ultimately change the world.

You want to start affecting change now by starting a nonprofit organization but have researched or heard that the process can be tedious and confusing.​

Well... you’re right!

It is... no sugar coating here!

One of the biggest obstacles that nonprofit founders face is knowing exactly where to start. This tail-spin can consume your most valuable resources, your time, and your money, and in the words of a wise soul…

”Ain't nobody got time for that”.

The truth of the matter is that your most valuable resources can be better spent, creating the impact you were purposed to make.

You were created to be a change-maker, social entrepreneur, and may I dare say, a social disruptor.

However, you were probably not meant to be an expert in nonprofit formation. That’s ok, I was, and one of my purposes in life is to teach you all that you need to know so you can quickly start, structure, and sustain an organization that changes lives, and ultimately the world.​

Hey, I’m Sherrika, a Corporate Advisor turned Nonprofit Consultant.

I’m here to tell you that I understand exactly where you are, and how you feel, because about 10 years ago, I was in your shoes.

It took me two years to start my first nonprofit organization, and it was the one of the most overwhelming, self-doubting, and teary-eyed seasons of my life.

It almost discouraged me from stepping into my purpose, and realizing my passion to help aspiring founders just like you, change the world through your impact.

I’ve created this course for you!

To walk you through, step by step, application by application, resource by resource...

All that you need to know to get your nonprofit started, structured and operating the right way...and get this...all in just six weeks. Keep reading and I promise, you wont regret it.

Oops!

Have you made that last comment at some point on your nonprofit journey?

Be honest?.. I have! But it took me a long time to navigate the process on my own. See, I get it, you’re probably goal-oriented, a self-starter, and a really smart person. You’re always trying to learn new things, probably an avid DIYer, and a Jack or Jacklyn-of-all-trades.

We’re more alike than you think.

That’s why I have no doubt that you can figure this process out on your own, just like I did.

But the truth is, you have things to do, impact to be made, and probably not a lot of time to do it. With my decade long experience, I’ll navigate you around the pitfalls and detours to start your nonprofit sooner than it would take to do it on your own. I’ll save you the time and overwhelm of navigating the process so that you can start operating your nonprofit in just six-weeks.

This course gave me step-by-step instructions on how to form a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization and maintain it. This course delivered what it promised...In a matter of 6 weeks we became a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

This course truly helped me reach what I previously deemed as an unattainable goal...This was not a mere “How To” guide...but a well-structured, well-organized course led by a highly knowledgeable, impactful and resourceful Sherrika. She was ALWAYS prepared to provide us with usable information in addition to well detailed guidance with real time, hands-on assignments.

I’d worked with Sherrika in the formation of another nonprofit in which I serve as the VP. The wealth of knowledge and expertise she provided was just the push I needed to step out and take this course to start my own... she made the application process seamless and inviting… and put to rest every fear or doubt I had about starting a business.

FAQS

This course will walk you through completing all the required applications to successfully form your nonprofit in just six weeks. However, we cannot control how long it will take your state, and/or the IRS to process your applications. It may take these outside entities longer than the six weeks designated for this course. However, we will continue to provide support in our private community for up to 12-weeks after the end of this course, in case the processing times for your applications should take longer.

You sure can! Some individuals that start the process on their own, quickly find it confusing, and are overwhelmed and unsure of the next steps. While we would prefer participants to start the process at the beginning, when the course begins, as to ensure that steps are completed correctly, and in the right order, we welcome aspiring founders that are wise enough to seek help no matter where they are in the process.

No. The applications that you complete in this course may require you to pay filing fees before they are processed by your local state agencies, and the IRS. There are two major filing fees associated with forming your nonprofit. The first is required to register your organization with your state by filing Articles of Incorporation. These filing fees can range from $50-$300, depending on your state. The second fee is required to file for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. This fee, $275, is the same no matter your state, and is based upon the type of application we use in this course. Feel free to reach out to our support team, for more information on your state-specific filing fees.

Each module is jam-packed with approximately 2 hours of content a week. In addition, we recommend that you spend an average of 2.5 hours per week outside of the course material, implementing what you have learned, and completing assignments assigned to you to work on independently.

It’s important to research and understand if there exist organizations in your community that already provide services and programs that you intend to deliver through your nonprofit. While this should not completely deter your desire to start your nonprofit, it may be helpful to determine a unique need or problem that your nonprofit can solve, validate your idea, make decisions based on the types of programs that already exist, and provide clarity on potential revenue streams to fund the nonprofit vision. In addition, it may help to already identify a pool of people who can act as board members for your nonprofit.

While we will walk you through every step and requirement for applying for 501(c)(3) tax exemption with the IRS, and subsequent state exemptions and registration, we simply cannot guarantee or control whether your efforts will result in a favorable outcome. However, if you can demonstrate that you have followed the methodology of this course and completed all the required assignments, you will have the option of retaining our team, at a discounted fee, to review, reapply, or provide a response for a request for additional information, if required.
