We make it easy to run a nonprofit.

Let's do this thing. Ready...set...go!

the journey
  • Step 1: Find a team.
    It's important to have a team of officers and other volunteers to spread out the work.
    Need some help getting started? Check out our articles on recruiting nonprofit board members and volunteer management for your nonprofit group to get the ball rolling.
  • Step 2: Create your bylaws.
    An organization’s bylaws provide the rules for how to operate.
    You don't speak legalese? No problem! Just use our customizable bylaws generator tool to create your bylaws in a snap.
  • Step 3: Adopt a budget.
    Adopting a budget and having financial controls in place is key. You may also need to update the signature cards for any bank account(s).
    We have financial resources too! Check out our resources page for a sample budget, cash tally sheet, donor receipt, theft prevention, and much more.
  • Step 4: Get insurance.
    It is advisable to protect your volunteers and assets from the potential risks of running a nonprofit.
    Parent Booster USA does not provide insurance. But we know people who do! Check out our resource on risks and insurance.
  • Step 5: Reconcile & report.
    Bank account(s) should be reconciled monthly, with reports and bank statements available to all to review.
    Need nonprofit banking? Want to collect payments from your members? Our friends at Crowded can help simplify your workflow.
  • Step 6: File on time.1, 2
    The IRS requires 501(c) groups to file a 990-series tax return, and most states require an annual corporate report, fundraising and sales tax renewals.
    Good news! We'll handle the paperwork, so you can focus on your mission. Just complete the fiscal year profile in your Registration Dashboard so we are able to file on your behalf.
