Need Info on Starting a Non-Profit

Asked 19 June 2010 · needs an answer

The question

I am really in need of some help. I am trying to find out exactly what is needed up front and annually to start a non-profit.

Specifically this non-profit is for a kids baseball team.

I need to find out a way to get it started as quickly and cheaply as possible since all the funding is coming from coaches at this point.

So I need some guidance...

What are the costs to get a NP tax status?

How long does it take?

Where can I go to get it done/processed?

Are there any annual fees or anything that needs paid annually, or is it only one-time fees up front?

What kind of documentation, tax returns, etc have to be done every year?

I know this is a lot, but I really want to help this baseball team to be able to take donations so they can play tournaments and things.
