So I’m trying to accomplish something huge with absolutely no funds based on what God placed on my heart to do. I am trying to apply for a 501c3 form and I also have to have an EIN before I can file it in order to start up Camp Yesu, next I will have to choose the top land choices and add financial info before I can beginning applying for. Grants that will he needed for literally everything. I still need a board and need board members. My problem is that I don’t have $600 filing fee for IRS and my husband says we don’t have that kind of money right now. Does anyone know of a work around on filing fee, or how I can raise the funds? Open to suggestions.

You should start a Private Membership Association (PMA) so as to avoid the grip and influence of the government. If you go 501c3 you have to do all their masking, vaxes, etc. etc. Basically, whatever the overlords tell you to do. Such is the disaster of talking-corpses.
One of my cousins who wants to help me ith this said the same thing. How do I go about that?
It isn't complicated but you should educate yourself on the topic. Here's a good start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HkC0kVllSA
I like the work Robert Michael of the House of Markus is doing around these as well. https://www.houseofmarkus.org/
Good luck!
I am gathering info on the is angle. Thanks, hadn’t heard of it before
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any way to waive the filing fee. Creating your board now will make this process easier. (To file the 501c3, you will need their names/positions anyway.) The board should help fundraise the startup costs, including the filing fee, as well as write the mission statement, develop program goals, create the project timeline, create a project budget, work with the program director, and so forth. Do you have any folks in mind who might be willing to serve on your board? Have you clearly articulated your vision for the program, identified the population the camp will serve, touched on why there is a need for Camp Yesu, and provided other relevant information in a written statement. This will be useful in recruiting board members. You do not necessarily need a large board but you will need people who believe in the program, are willing to work, and bring skills and expertise to help your new program be successful. Garnering financial support for startup costs is much easier than ongoing program support which is why a fundraising plan is essential. I wish you the best in your endeavor.
I have a business plan put together (minus financial info I don’t yet have) which has our Mission statement, I have an outline put together of buildings, supplies, livestock and staff members needed, a list of potential real estate and except spreadsheet f what each property has and needs.
Call you local municipality and explain you situation. Most states can waive fees for small business startups.
One big issue is that the properties I have compiled as possibilities are in a handful of different states where mountain ranges are and I still need to narrow down to just a few in case one or two sell from under me before I can gather funds.
I have yet to narrow down which property. My list of places are in several different states with mountain ranges
You have anybody local who might join the board?
Hopefully one person so far in WA (I’m in MO). Awaiting responses from others.
Perhaps the board members could each contribute like 100 for their seat
Except currently I am at one potential board member so far.
That may work. So far I’m up to the huge number of 1 possible board member……
Now seeking Bible following Christian board members for Camp Yesu…..and staff for all parts involved once up and running. It won’t be a career, it’ll be a mission.
