Why Nonprofits Can– and Should– Market Their Missions

I am looking to start a non profit here in maine.. I guess I missed the event today but I couldn’t have paid anyway as everything at this point is out of my pocket. I’m trying to find a application for Non profit so I can get a tax ID for a checking acct. If you can help me give me a call at 207-229-9447 Thanks AMY Labonte

Hi Amy, Please visit our “Starting a Nonprofit” page:

As far as a tax ID for a checking account – your bank may require this to determine your eligibility for a nonprofit account which is typically less expensive than a regular business account.
