Nonprofit Formation Services

Forming a nonprofit organization in California involves multiple layers of compliance at both the state and federal levels. Organizations must register with the California Secretary of State, apply for tax-exempt status with the IRS, and comply with oversight from the California Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts.

We guide founders through every step of the nonprofit formation process, ensuring compliance, proper governance, and long-term sustainability. As both attorneys and CPAs, we provide the financial and legal infrastructure necessary to maintain tax-exempt status and operate effectively.
