Starting a Nonprofit Organization in Illinois: Do It Right the First Time, edited by Kathryn M. Vanden Berk, provides a framework for establishing a non-profit group in Illinois and lists several resources to help sustain it. The guide explains how to craft a business plan, register a name, draft articles of incorporation, create bylaws, obtain recognition of tax-exempt status, and obtain employee insurance. It reprints forms that must be completed if an organization is to solicit funds in Illinois, and explains how to prepare for an independent financial audit.
