You will get a complete 501(c)(3) tax-exempt filing package
Project details
Get every document the IRS actually reviews, not just the form, prepared by a founder who has run an approved 501(c)(3). Flat fee, reviewed before you file.
I prepare your complete federal tax-exempt package: Articles of Incorporation, 12-article bylaws, a conflict-of-interest policy, a custom activity narrative, your Form 1023-EZ or 1023, and (Long Form) a 3-year financial projection. Every package goes through a pre-submission review that catches the common, avoidable issues that get applications sent back, and includes a plain-English guide to what happens after you file. I founded and run my own IRS-approved 501(c)(3) and bring a compliance and government background.
This is a document-preparation and filing-support service, not a law firm or tax advisor, and it is not legal or tax advice. I prepare a complete, compliant application from your information and current IRS standards, and the approval decision is always the IRS's. I never guarantee approval, so be cautious of anyone who does.

About Corey
Grant Writing & Nonprofit Setup: 501(c)(3), Governance & Funding
Fort Wayne, United States - 12:43 am local time
My background: 12 years running my own consulting practice, and 12 years as an Atlanta Police Department officer before that. I have government-contract experience, including with the City of Atlanta, and I founded and run my own IRS-approved 501(c)(3), the Lumoset Foundation. The process I help you with is one I have personally been through.
What you can hire me for:
• Grant and proposal writing. Funder-matched research and a funder-ready proposal, built on a reusable Foundation Package you keep. Flat fee, never a percentage of your award.
• 501(c)(3) application package. Articles, bylaws, conflict-of-interest policy, activity narrative, pre-filled IRS portal entry, and a pre-submission review that catches the avoidable errors.
• Governance package. Board-ready bylaws, COI policy, board agreements, first-meeting minutes, and a first-year compliance checklist, all tailored to your sector.
How I work is simple. You fill out a short intake form, I prepare your deliverable (typically 3 to 7 business days), and then you review it, own it 100%, and get plain-English next steps. Every deliverable goes through a documented quality check.
New to Upwork, but not new to the work. See my portfolio for exactly what you would receive before you hire me.
Important: I am a document-preparation and writing service, not a law firm, accounting firm, or tax advisor, and I do not provide legal or tax advice. I prepare your documents from the information you provide. I never guarantee an outcome such as IRS approval or a grant award.
Steps for completing your project

Delivery time starts when Corey receives requirements from you.
Corey works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Confirm eligibility and intake
You share your mission, planned activities, board, budget, and EIN. I confirm whether Form 1023-EZ or the full 1023 fits your revenue and structure, and tell you honestly which path is right.
Prepare your governance documents
I prepare your Articles of Incorporation, 12-article bylaws, and conflict-of-interest policy, tailored to your state, board, and mission, so your organization is set up correctly from the start.
