Filing articles of incorporation creates a nonprofit entity at the state level, but it doesn't grant federal tax-exempt status on its own. World Trademarks Counsel prepares and files your 501(c)(3) application with the IRS, so your organization can actually accept deductible donations, not just operate as a nonprofit in name.
Start My NonprofitThe IRS reviews your stated charitable purpose closely, and vague or overly broad language in your formation documents can trigger delays or additional information requests. World Trademarks Counsel drafts purpose statements that meet IRS standards clearly the first time.

Choose the package that fits your legal needs.
Getting your determination letter confirms tax-exempt status, but nonprofits carry annual reporting and governance obligations that keep that status active. World Trademarks Counsel stays involved after formation, so your exemption doesn't lapse from a missed requirement.
We help you meet your annual IRS reporting obligations, which vary depending on your organization's size and revenue.
We help you maintain the board practices and documentation the IRS and state regulators expect from an active nonprofit.
Many states require separate registration before you can solicit donations there, and we handle those filings as your fundraising expands.
As your organization grows, we update your bylaws and conflict of interest policies to reflect how the nonprofit actually operates.
