Our IRS 1023 Experience

This short, story-based micro-course from ReadyMeNow™ teaches new nonprofit leaders how to apply readiness principles to organizational formation. Based on our own 1023 journey, it highlights the habits, documents, and mindset that helped us achieve IRS approval in nearly half the national average time.

You’ll learn how to translate purpose into structure, how to document what matters, and how to demonstrate readiness with integrity—without paying for outside consultants or risking compliance errors.
No quizzes. No grades. Just practical, plainspoken lessons that lift.
