Help Hippo Roller Foundation NPC with 3 volunteers for Help Establish a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
The Hippo Roller Foundation NPC is looking for assistance in establishing a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the USA. This would enable us to offer tax benefits to our donors, making it easier to attract support and funding. Our mission is to provide innovative water solutions to communities in need, and establishing this non-profit status will significantly enhance our fundraising capabilities. We have identified Delaware as a suitable state for incorporation and have two women ready to act as directors—one is a US citizen, and the other is a South African citizen. However, we need expert guidance on navigating the process of applying for 501(c)(3) status, including completing the necessary IRS forms. Here are the key details: Form to be completed: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1023 Instructions for the streamlined process: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1023ez.pdf Volunteer Requirements: Experience in setting up 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations in the USA. Knowledge of US non-profit law and the IRS application process. Ability to guide us through the paperwork, compliance requirements, and submission process. Familiarity with state-specific regulations, particularly in Delaware, is a plus. Why Your Help is Crucial: We are a small organization with limited resources and cannot afford to hire US-based consultants or lawyers. By assisting us in this process, you'll be enabling us to expand our donor base, increase our impact, and bring much-needed water solutions to more communities around the world. Impact: Your support will directly contribute to our ability to provide tax-deductible receipts to US donors, making it easier to raise funds for our cause. This will enable us to distribute more Hippo Rollers, improve access to water, and transform the lives of those who struggle daily with water scarcity. If you have the skills and experience to help us achieve this goal, we'd love to hear from you!
