Step-By-Step Process
3. Step 3: 1023/1023-EZ Form
The next step is completing the traditional 501(c)(3) application. If your Neighborhood Association makes less than $50,000/year and has less than $250,000 in assets, you qualify to complete the 1023-EZ Form rather than the traditional 1023 Form, which is a shorter process.1
The 1023-EZ Form can be completed on the pay.gov website.
