I have what I believe is a pretty good idea for a non-profit with a high likelihood of raising funds in the 7 digit area.

Ok, now the reality..

This idea is related to an area I have been involved with for the past 3 years.

I have no experience in setting this thing up although I have a handle on the necessary steps to do it.

I do not plan on using any of my own funds.

I alread have a name/domain name, logo idea and have written a business plan & mission statement.

So im wondering if crowd funding is a good avenue to raise funds for attorney or CPA to do the set up/application with the IRS and to hire someone to build a non-profit specific website?

I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone.

Thanks

Professional bookkeeper and CFO. I have a colleague who specializes in non-profit books and tax. I've referred several non-profits to them, and everyone I've sent has been well taken care of.

If you're serious, send me a PM.

For website, it depends on how fancy it needs to be. If you don't need super fancy, you can build your own cheap and easy. If you need a site that can process payments, you need to be a lot more careful with the provider and what you do with the site. I did my own site when I first started out, and waited until recently to get a solid site done by professionals.
