Organizational Information
There are two primary phases of setting up a nonprofit. The first is to incorporate the nonprofit. Below we will gather the information to incorporate or clarify any steps that may have already been completed.
Knowing this helps us streamline the process. Most of our orders include incorporation services, so it's important to know if you previously incorporated.
Legal name of corporation
Name Choice can shape your whole organization's identity. In case the name you want is taken, pick your top 3 choices. If your first choice is available we will secure that name, followed by 2nd and 3rd choices. Name Availability is based on the state of operation.
Please provide an alternate name for the organization, in case the first one is taken.
Please provide an alternate name for the organization, in case the first two are taken.

Please list the state you want your organization to be formed in. Typically this is your home state or the state you will be primarily operating in or delivering services.
Only select the states you plan to operate your business within the next 12 months, not including Formation State. Organizations must meet the specific requirements of the state they are registered in and states that they operate or conduct business in. For example, operating in New York, but also doing business or events in New Jersey. Failure to maintain an organization’s compliance may result in penalties and fines, and can hurt your nonprofit’s reputation. Please answer and we can best guide you if you are not registered correctly.
An employer identification number (EIN) is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS. Not to worry, we will secure for you as most of our packages include the service.

Your Organization's Physical Address, Mailing Address and Registered Agent Information
When starting a company – whether a nonprofit or for-profit business – it is important to know that most (if not all) states will require that you have multiple addresses on file, all of which serve a different purpose. In this section we will go over each address type and gather the pertinent information.
- Physical address – To begin with, the state wants to know what address you are conducting your physical business in. This information will be public record. This can be a home address, an actual brick-and-mortar business address, or a third-party provider (like a virtual office).
- Mailing address – About as simple as it sounds – this is where the state will send mail to (from them). Commonly, this is the same as the business address. Another popular option is to use a PO Box or alternative mailing option when you don’t want important mail going to the actual business location.
- Registered Agent Address – Finally, the state requires a registered agent address or an “agent for service of process.” This is where it can get a little confusing. Your registered agent can range from an individual person to a corporation, either of which is designated to do the same thing: receive official company and legal documents, such as state compliance documents, lawsuit papers, subpoenas, and other official legal or business paperwork.
States want to know the address that you conduct business out of. This can be a residence, an actual business, or if you use a third-party provider like a virtual office or mail service. Even if you are a virtual business, the states want an address to be on file.
This will be a public record.
States want to know the address that you conduct business out of. This can be a residence, an actual business, or if you use a third-party provider like a virtual office or mail service. Even if you are a virtual business, the states want an address to be on file.
If you need a virtual mailbox, check out our partner, iPostal1.States want to know where the mail should go to (from them). Many times this is also the business address. However, it’s also common to use a PO Box or an alternative address where to receive mail.
This address will be a public record. Only fill out if the mailing address is different from the physical address.
States require a registered agent to be on file to ensure businesses can easily be reached for official legal or tax purposes (IRS, Secretary of State, Subpoenas). Registered Agents MUST be physically available during normal business hours, such as 9 AM to 5 PM. Companies who operate remote or out of their home residence are strongly encouraged to appoint a registered agent.
If you purchased the Complete Compliance or Compliance Concierge Service, our Registered Agent Services are included in your first year, but you must opt-in. This is a $129 savings and will auto-renew each year at $129.
If you did not purchase the Complete Compliance or Compliance Concierge Service, you can opt-in and will be charged a low introductory rate of $79, which will auto-renew each year at $129.

Organizational Profile
The organizational profile section helps us better understand the charitable activities of the nonprofit you are forming. When completing, please imagine what the first 12 months will look like. We have found the most successful nonprofits we work with have a laser focus on their mission. If you are think too BIG or too Broadly, getting your nonprofit off the ground will likely be more challenging vs, if you start with a clear focus or purpose, make it successful and then move on to the next step or phase.
If you don't have one fully thought out, that's okay simply tell us what your organization plans to do. What is your goal? Ex. To provide meals, clothing, and other necessities to the homeless. (A few sentences at minimum) This mission will be used for your incorporation filing.
Programs are the services you plan to provide. Who, What, Where, When, How of each program. Please focus on the programs you plan to have running in the next 6-12 months (not the long-term vision). For example, an established Pet rescue might have these three programs they provide. Program 1. Rescue and adoption. Program 2. Spay and neuter clinic and Program 3. Veterinary services for low income pet owners. They likely started with rescue and adoption and added as they grew. For new nonprofits, we recommend starting with a clear focus of 1 program and once it is successful, add additional programs.
If you are unsure, select charitable, religious, educational, scientific as most 501c3 organizations all into this classification. Not to worry, we will review everything and tell you which option is best suited for you in the event you do not qualify for your desired 501c classification.

Having or exceeding $250,000 in assets is rare for new nonprofits.
Assets are defined as property, cash, bank accounts, equipment, etc. in the name of the charity exceeding $250,000 in value. We suggest you mark yes if you know with certainty you have or will have physical property, equipment, or large donations in the near future.

Final Details
Thank you for answering the 501 questionnaire. We have made every attempt to cover the primary items necessary to provide the IRS. However, there are some items that are very much niche, thus limited to very few 501 organizations. We want to give you an opportunity to fill us in on any thing that might be an area of concern or something that was not covered during this part of the process. Please use this section to address. Key subjects might be Do you plan to have a Donor-Advised Fund? Be a Private Foundation? Do you have a parent or affiliated organization we should know about?
(Ex. Donor-Advised Fund? Private Foundation? Additional operating states? Does your organization have a "parent organization"?)
Keep Your Nonprofit in Compliance - Annual Subscription
In most states, simply applying for federal tax-exempt status is insufficient for meeting the ongoing compliance requirements of Nonprofit organization. Charitable organizations must meet the specific requirements of the state they are registered in to solicit donations and apply for grant funding. Additionally, they must file IRS tax form 990 each year. Failure to maintain an organization’s 501c3 compliance may result in penalties, fines, and loss of their 501(c) Tax status, which can hurt a nonprofit’s reputation. BryteBridge NOW offers Annual Compliance Programs that are subscription based. This means you have a partner looking over your nonprofit throughout the year to make sure you stay in compliance with both the IRS and State of incorporation and operating states. Did you know the number one reason nonprofits loose their 501(c)(3) status is failure to stay in compliance? Trust our team of compliance professionals to maintain your organizations compliance concerns, while you focus on your mission!
If fiscal year is Jan - Dec
Subscription starts in January 2023; automatic debits will happen annually (unless otherwise indicated) as follows:
State Compliance Review & Service: $299 on January 5th annually
990 N (If revenue is less than $50k): $99 on February 5th annually.
So, if fiscal date is July - June,
Subscription starts in January 2023; automatic debits will happen annually (unless otherwise indicated) as follows:
State Compliance Review & Service: $299 on January 5th annually
990 N (If revenue is less than $50k): $99 on August 5th annually
Would you prefer Phone or Email Correspondence?
501(c) orders include an initial consultation with a dedicated nonprofit specialist.
For 501(c)(3) Complete and Concierge orders, you have access to a dedicated specialist who will oversee the administration of your incorporation and 501c application. Phone calls are more personable but can cause processing delays to align schedules. Email is quickest, but not as personable. please select which makes the most sense for your organizational needs. If you select phone, you can schedule a date anytime, even weeks out, but must be booked within 2 business days or we will convert to email correspondence to minimize processing delays of your 501(c)(3).
