I have always wanted to have my own not for profit organization. Yes I know how much time and effort I would have to put into it...but I was wondering knew about the basics of starting one.
Fees involved? paperwork and waiting time? anything else?

It's as easy as that---we all have our causes we want to help. How about encourage people of ALL ages to collect change to make a change.
My daughter's school does that once a semester for different charities. This week we did one for Second Harvest.
My 6 year old always puts some of her allowance in the donate section of her piggy bank to save for these school charity drives.

Steph, My understanding is that there are state to state differences so you may want to check out www.georgia.org to see if they have any resources for you.
When I started my business, the Ohio website had all kinds of helpful information.
You may also want to see if your town has any type of women in business type organizations. I got lots of information from them as well.
I have heard though that it's tougher to legally start a non-profit and there are more hoops to jump through but good luck!

I would start with your local library's business department. There is a wealth of stuff out there that will get you on your way to being up and running.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
