Supporting information regarding becoming or adding a 501(c)3 organization:
From the report available below
Note also that audit costs generally begin at around $5,000 annually for small organizations.
This would be in addition to the $15,000 compliance costs referenced above.
It is my recommendation that if you’re not looking at a minimum of $100,000 in real dollars contributed annually, this will not pay off appropriately for the organization.
