    can anyone point me in a good direction on how to obtain a 501c3? I am starting my own church and need this classification in order to be considered non-profit. I am posting here because there seems to be tons of people on here that know about various laws and just know I will be able to find some help. Thanks guys.

    B careful what you buy into to be exempt

    Maybe it's worth a lot in relation to your belief to find a consultant ( lawyer, tax guy )

    Used to be that if you took gvt money you were not protected by freedom of speech

    I don't know the complete explination, but I worked in a couple churches that had to limit their stance in the pulpit because of different incomes of gvt bucks, FEMA was one of the main problems, FEMA would pass out certain amounts of money for people to pay utility bills and buy perscription drugs but the church was subject to Fed Gvt regs

    I have never had to "censor" any speech. However all churches I have been a part of have NEVER taken any government money. They have been 501c3 in order to be tax exempt. I will have to look into all the ramifications of becoming non profit.
