I was hoping to start my own non-profit organization. I have all the details worked out, and as soon as I find a name I like I am going to buy my domain. However, as I started to reasearch deatails a little more I noticed that you have to get all the papers filled out and stuff and get the org. government approved. I was wondering if anyone knew what is the 1st step to starting one, and to whom I need to speak with. Thanks -Free2bMe :)

Anyone can buy a .org domain and say they're non-profit, but it's probably a good idea to register with government offices so you can be official about it and even apply later to be a tax exempt non-profit. Rules are different depending on what state you're on, but it's going to take a while for your tax exemptions to go through (think years) so it's a good idea to make sure you read the rules carefully now. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is a good resource, and they even have some state-dependent information.

I'm sorry I can't help you immediately, but I will look into it. My mom is head of the Western Washington County Food Pantry and I'm sure she knows something about the process. I will get back with you if you respond to this so I will have your name in my inbox to reply to. Hope to be getting back with you soon.
