My reasons to incorporate to non-profit status are extremely valueable and will assist many on a national and even world-wide level.

Non profit status would allow me to locate governement funding via grant research and writing.

My companies current ability to develop and design websites would reach a much higher level of proficiency as well as capabilities.

Any assistance is welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

Check out these two websites for some good information. There are go-bys online that will help you to write grants. I am sure you can find several people here on the baord that may be willing to help edit. Count me in. How much money are you trying to raise?

Best, DD

I am currently only trying to raise a few hundred.

This would allow me to incorporate as a non profit in the State of Ohio.

Once incorporated, the next step would be to research and write grants that would be applicable to what I am trying to do.
