Starting a Nonprofit: Overview

Since 1981, the Community Resource Center (CRC) has assisted more than 145 grassroots organizations to incorporate their organizations in Colorado and to pursue a 501(c)(3) (tax exempt status) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

While staff members of CRC no longer are able to provide counsel to inquiries about startup organizations or to provide servcies related to the Form 1023, we have compiled practical information that enables those organizations that are incorporating in Colorado and applying for 501(c)(3) status to minimize mistakes and unnecessary delays.
