Non-Profit

Washington

I am starting a non profit, and am considering asking any lawyer that wishes to be on our board of directors to please contact me.

It is my understanding that after I get my non profit status with my state that I have 18 months to get my federal 501c status. Is this correct. We are in Washington State.

Thank you in advance for all advice.

Here is an excellent source, supplied by your state for coordinating your goals to become state and federal tax exempt.
