💡 Nonprofit Talk! 💡

If you’ve ever thought about starting a nonprofit, you’ve probably come across two IRS application paths: the 1023-EZ and the full 1023.🙌 … but here’s a question:

👉 Do you know the difference between filing the 1023-EZ vs the full 1023 application when applying for your 501(c)(3) nonprofit status?

Both get you to tax-exempt status, but the process, requirements, and outcomes are not the same.

Drop your thoughts below 👇 — I’d love to hear what you think the key differences are!

And if you’re ready to start your nonprofit journey, let Carrie Wilson Consulting assist you through the process

✨VENDOR SPOTLIGHT✨

RISE Alabama

R.I.S.E. — Reaching Individual Success Thru Empowerment — was born from a deep belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Founded by Carrie Wilson, a financial educator, career mentor, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience, R.I.S.E. was created to bridge the gap for youth, underserved communities, and individuals who are too often overlooked. After witnessing firsthand how access to the right knowledge, tools, and support can change lives, Carrie left the corporate world to build something that would make a lasting difference — something rooted in purpose, not profit.

Come see Carrie at our upcoming Community Advocacy Day and find out how you can get your young adult involved. Or YOU!

You can also register to attend her upcoming event for FREE:
