Undoubtedly, no task involving Cuba is going to be an easy one, plus english as a second language only made it almost impossible for me. I was beginning to feel very discouraged, but then, thank God I found the Non Profit Advisor Group. Since I first opened their website and read about Tricia and Mark’s work, I had a glimpse of hope that literally brought tears to my eyes. I decided to contact them and they embraced and cared for my vision. I could even relax as they patiently and professionally did on my behalf what there was no way I could have done on my own. Despite we are located at completely opposite sides of the country, their service was in such a timely, personalized, and outstanding manner that it made me feel like they were always right next door. Although I did brace myself for some real difficulties in the process, including exchanging innumerable letters with the IRS back and forth, I was certainly not prepared to receive, only one second letter that said “you have been approved”. I said to Tricia: Wait…What??? Really??? Well, yes, it was simply unbelievable!! They did it for our organization and they can do it for yours. Dear Tricia and Mark, I am so touched by you and thankful beyond words. You are God-sent and He does not make mistakes. His hands are behind the work you do. I know since you have truly helped me to move a step closer to fulfilling my life purpose. Thanks to your care, knowledge and efforts, now hope is on the way for many cuban families that are praying for their miracle. Even though we officially have our 501c3 status, I continue to look forward to work with you and the really awesome team of Non Profit Advisor Group, because…The best is yet to come! Love you all!

Getting 501c3 non profit status was a crucial step to transforming our non-profit from a dream into a reality.  Non Profit Advisor was patient when needed, persistent when necessary, and efficient beyond compare. We expected the process to take at least 6 months… we were a qualified 501c3 two months after getting Tricia our paperwork! We are now a thriving non-profit serving education through outdoor adventure, come check us out!

When we started looking at applying for our 501c3 status, we were completely overwhelmed and stressed out. How were we supposed to manage all of our projects AND navigate the 50c13 application process at the same time? When we started working with Non Profit Advisor Group, they helped us to realize the process was not as scary as it seemed and walked us through the application process step-by-step. Even after we submitted our application, the Non Profit Advisor group continued to keep us updated on our status. We were not prepared for it to take so long for the IRS to get back to us on our application but Non Profit Advisor group continued to call the IRS on our behalf to ensure our application was being processed. We loved working with Non Profit Advisor Group and I would recommend their services to all NGOs that are just starting up!

Obtaining a 501(c)(3) has been an amazing process! I learned a lot of information while working with Tricia. Although, completing this task can be tedious, working with the Non Profit Advisor Group will make this tedious process “doable.” I received support, knowledge, and professionalism, which kept the momentum going in receiving this tax-exempt status. Please know that I truly appreciate you Tricia, many blessings!

Thank you for the help and assistance.  Your organization provides valuable motivation to potential nonprofit when it is needed most.  We look forward to our continued relationship with Non Profit Advisors.

We didn’t really know the process or really even where to start. Non Profit Advisor Group added value from the very beginning by helping us frame the process, organize the documents, prepare the multi-year budget, draft a cover letter and counsel us on the approach of our programs. They continued to add value as we navigated the process by interpreting the IRS letters and providing guidance essential in drafting a timely response, which ultimately ended with an approval letter.

We would recommend Non Profit Advisor Group because they will ultimately save you time (and money) while ensuring a better outcome and allowing you to focus on the equally important business of running your nonprofit. They help companies file every day and have a good sense of what is needed for a successful 1023 application filing.

Given we didn’t know what to expect, it was comforting to have Non Profit Advisor Group guide us through the process and prepare us for how long it would take and what to expect in response to our filing. I cannot imagine having addressed the questions without their input. They seemed to know what to expect at every turn and to how draft a response that would answer the question that was being asked, which was not always clear.

The Non Profit Advisor Group is PHENOMENAL. They are real experts. They walked me through the process from the beginning to end. They were always available to answer questions, They accurately explained every step of the process to me so I knew what to expect and even kept me encouraged during the waiting period. If not for them, my dream would never have come true.

I would recommend the Non Profit Advisor Group because they know what they are doing. They are professionals with high integrity. They made me feel that my nonprofit really mattered … I have nothing but love and respect for the Non Profit Advisor Group.

We received the notification letter saying we are approved!  WOW!!! WE DID IT!!!!  A million THANK YOUs!!!!  Seriously, thank you so very much. We couldn’t have done it without your guidance and hard work!!!

I am really glad that I hired you to help me do things that I am not familiar with.  If I didn’t know better I would think that you were very, very old with your wisdom.   Thanks, again.

Thank you, Non Profit Advisor Group for your professionalism and cool-headed interactions when you could feel the hysteria through the phone. The 501C3 is such an essential part of our non-profit status, it was a blessing to work with a corporation that minded every detail, explained everything in painstaking detail, and respected me not only as a client but as an organization determined to make a difference for the families I am honored to serve. Kudos to us both!!!

This is my BIG happy face and grateful smile Tricia !!!!  Thank you for your professionalism, willingness to help and kind encouragement.

Thank you, Tricia!  I really appreciate all you have done for me, it’s been great knowing that you were there navigating me through the whole process and I’m thrilled that we were approved.

I was skeptical when I learned that there was an organization that could assist us in filing for and receiving our non-profit (501c3) status.  I expected that we would have to hire attorneys and pay out huge sums of monies and then that it would take us at least a year or two to complete and receive notice from the Internal Revenue Service.  I have been pleasantly surprised.

We began working with Non Profit Advisor Group about six months ago and I am proud to say that we received our status notification this last week.  The advisors were professional and made the process easy and painless and were available to answer questions either by phone or email.  They provided examples of documents that needed to be completed as well as a worksheet that covered every facet of the process.

I highly recommend Non Profit Advisor Group and its services to businesses of every size.   The cost is minimal in comparison to the services and results.

From the first contact I had with Tricia Del Guercio , of Non Profit Advisor Group, I have felt that personal care for our work. Every step of the way the past few months, Tricia has walked with us, giving us advice and feedback, until we successfully completed the process.  If I was giving Non-Profit Advisor Group a grade, it would be A+++++++++++++++++++.  No one does it better or with more care and compassion.

I feel very blessed to have worked with Tricia at Non Profit Advisors.  She helped our non-profit receive our 501(c)(3) in “no-time”.  Tricia was very personable and a pleasure to work with.  Thanks again for all of your help.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your diligent support throughout the process of filing our paperwork with the IRS.  This morning, I received the official letter stating that Acacia Lodge No. 166 has been approved to be exempt from Federal Income Tax.   Again, thank you for the great guidance and services provided.  Looking forward to working with you in the future.

First and for most I would like to thank the staff of Non-Profit Advisor Group for your consummate support throughout what has been a long process.  During the process of developing our non-profit and the application for tax free status 501-3-c you went above and beyond the call of duty insuring my staff and me of the rigorous but survivable feat. I think I would have lost hope had it not been for your constant and available communication  via emails and personal calls. Please let the staff know I will not hesitate to recommend your organization to anyone who is serious about staring up a non-profit or incorporating in the state. From the staff and myself at IPCC International Peace & Conflict Center God Bless You!!!

Thank you for all the teaching and motivating to get me going on my Non-Profit!!  I have had 35 years of For Profit that I had either merged or acquired companies (27) successfully. I guess I was spoiled because Non Profit was nothing like it and extremely tense on me.  I felt like a college person that just got a diploma and didn’t know what to do with it.  Someone directed me to Tricia at the Non Profit Advisor Group and I felt like I was taking my MBA. Tricia, with your optimism, motivation, energy, experience, empathy, and good ole FUN, you treated me as if I knew what I was doing.  You helped me along and guided me into the throws of IRS.

One day around February 18th, Tricia emailed me and stated Congratulations!! I was very surprised!!! I resigned from the consulting job to make my Non-Profit Company an inspiration and successful.

By the way, Tricia, thanks again on answering my questions timely.  I know you are my vision with your inspiration and enthusiasm.

Thank you, for your excellence in your work etiquette and result driven professionalism. From the start you made this process easier with your patience and resourcefulness.

I wanted to express my gratitude to Non Profit Advisor Group, Inc. and to the face of your institution, which is in this case, Tricia Del Guercio, whom has been superb in representing your firm…. As previously stated, Tricia has been great, particularly during the difficult stages of our 501c3 filing,  Mrs. Del Guercio has ALWAYS been courteous, professional and with Excellent Customer Service.

I will certainly recommend your firm, and how you made this filing process with minimum stress.

With much appreciation,

First off, I just want to say thank you for making this such an easy and smooth process.  I really was not sure what I was in for in applying for our nonprofit.  From your first phone call to your last you always made me feel comfortable and explained every process step by step.  I can tell you this we at Depaul Spartans Diamond Club will definitely recommend you and the Non Profit Advisor Group to everyone that we know.  This was really a great experience and I wish you all the best.

Let me take a few minutes to thank you in advance for taking your free time to put this paperwork together I’m very appreciative of your dedication, time, effort, and all the energy you have put into this project thank you and God Bless You dearly.

You will be honored and pleased to know that we are now officially TAX EXEMPT thanks to God Almighty and your expertise. Thank you; it has been an honor to have you aboard.  I’m very impressed…

“Non Profit Advisors” expertise, inspired guidance, resources and patience in the preparation of the extensive application for the 501C3 tax exempt status, was absolutely invaluable for the “National Academy of Music Association”. You made this involved and sometimes daunting process a pleasure, answered dozens of questions and helped put the whole package together. I cannot recommend your company highly enough!

Anyone with a vision and mission to improve the world through a non-profit organization, would benefit greatly from your experience and understanding of the process involved in preparing for the 501C3 status and in developing their non-profit organization’s dream.

We just wanted to thank you for everything you and Mark have done for us!  Mitch was shocked when I called him to tell him we were officially 501c3 tax-exempt.  We have taken our company from idea to a physical entity to tax-exempt in under 4 months.  We definitely could not have done this without you!  You guys are amazing and really make a difference in people’s lives.  We did receive our letter and will be hanging it in the office this weekend!  Thank you for everything and we’ll talk soon! 🙂

Dear Tricia, Thank you very much for the wonderful news.  We do highly appreciate your assistance. It has been a real pleasure for us to work with you and your organization all these years. Our requests have been always answered and we are always glad to cooperate with you. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you again in the future!

Great news indeed.  We were anxiously waiting to hear that CBG Foundation got the 501c3 determination letter.  Thanks for your professional help in a very cordial manner during this process of getting the determination.  You did it very thoroughly!!

I would just like to thank you for obtaining our 501(c) (3) as church. Although the IRS had shut down during this period you stayed persistent and kept me informed along the way.  What I really like was your ability to explain the process with me. I was put out of school in 8th grade received a GED in prison so I have limited education but you explained things in such a way that I could totally comprehend.

A special thank you to Tricia and Mark.  Switching careers in our 50’s was scary enough but to think my wife and I could start a nonprofit corporation to work with the autism community was overwhelming.  You not only helped us every step of the way, but you answered every phone call and email reassuring us this was going to happen.  We received our letter from the IRS…We can’t thank you enough!

Dear Tricia, we can’t thank you enough for your unwavering support though our application for nonprofit status.  With your expertise, we are so proud to share that we now have 501c3 status!  We feel blessed to have connected with you – Non Profit Advisor Group – you have made a highly intense and time consuming process go smoothly!  We highly recommend your service and look forward to continuing our relationship.  The world is a better place because you are in it!  Many Blessings…

It has been my great pleasure to have worked with Tricia and the Non-Profit Advisor Group. My dream to manage a public charity organization has become a reality because of their expert personal assistance every step through the process. It is my expectation of having a long lasting business relationship with Non-Profit Advisor Group and I would recommend them for their efficient care to details, knowledge base, educational tools, follow-up reporting, and for me always feeling that I had an A-1 team supporting my objective.

I can not say enough positive things about the NPAG. Being a newcomer to the world of non profits I had many questions and few answers. My advisor (Tricia) walked me through every step of the complicated process in a professional yet friendly way. Now the GCF is an accredited 501c3 largely in part to her and the NPAG. I would recommend enlisting their services to anyone wanting to start a foundation or for any other business needs. We consider them a part of our extended family at the GCF and I consider them friends. They did a great job.

YEAH!  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I am so blessed to have you advocating for me, Tricia!  I can’t say enough about you!  Mahalo.

Our experience with Non Profit Advisor Group was exceptional.  Our staff received great attention, prompt follow-up and rapid turnaround without ever compromising excellent customer service.  Tricia and her team have provided us with all the information necessary for creating a non-for-profit foundation.  They were always available by phone for any queries we had along the way.  We whole heartedly recommend Tricia and her team!

I really appreciated working with the Non Profit Advisor Group (and with you specifically, Tricia!).   Navigating all this paperwork is a very daunting thing.  It was awesome to have you there to explain each and every line of the application and to be the ones to call the IRS and check up on the process.  All of this saved me precious time and from a lot of frustration!  Thank you so much!

Non-Profit Advisors made my non-profit journey simple and stress free so that I could focus on my organization’s needs rather than all the 501c3 paperwork and communications with the IRS.  I literally filled out their easy-to-understand forms, signed a couple of papers, answered a couple emails and a few months later the Hinton Hope Foundation, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit.  Mark & Tricia were very accessible via phone, email and facebook.  Plus Tricia alleviated some stress by walking me through how easy it was to file taxes for my organization.  If you want a stress free, easy experience then go with Non-Profit Advisors.

Non Profit Advisor Group provided me with an accurate, well thought out blueprint on which to build a solid foundation.  They gave me a guarantee of success and they kept their word.  Before I even knew what to expect, NPAG gave me a clear, bird’s eye view of the path.  All I had to do was follow the plan.  In the end, there were no surprises because all had been so carefully explained in advance.

I was first introduced to Tricia Del Guercio and Non Profit Advisors Group in April of 2012. I had a desire and vision to start a nonprofit organization (so many people had played key roles in my own recovery – I have a need to try and give back), that would cut across the conventional lines of the Alcoholic Recovery Community and include everyone who is a victim to the disease of alcoholism, this includes the alcoholic drinker, the spouse, the children, the siblings, parents, the list goes on.  Alcoholism takes no prisoners, everyone suffers.

I had no clue how to go about filing any correct forms or paperwork (I knew I needed help) to start such an organization. Tricia made things simple. She went the extra mile working with me while we both waited patiently for approval. In the beginning she explained a complicated application process that she made easy to understand. Once we got into the application, Tricia helped me formulate all the correct language needed on the government forms. She did this extra work without me asking because that is who she is as a businesswoman and as a woman with a passion, who truly cares about new Nonprofit Organizations with a mission getting their government approval.

After filing all the paperwork through Non Profit Advisor Group it was time to wait. I wanted approval on the first attempt as I knew it would be a longer waiting game if the organization was not approved, if additional information was needed. Months later after several calls and many emails from Tricia reminding me it takes time and to let her know as soon as I hear any news – a letter came saying my application for AlcoholicShare, Inc. 501©3 nonprofit status was being reviewed.

After waiting ninety days I called the IRS office hoping to speak with the woman assigned to my case. She answered the phone on the first ring. I introduced myself and asked if she had reviewed my file application. Her response was, “Yes, I just reviewed it last week and you have been approved. You will receive all documents in the next several weeks.” I said, “thank you.” My next move was to email and call Tricia to let her know we got approved on the first shot, no questions asked!

I want to say, “Thank You to Ms. Tricia Del Guercio and Non Profit Advisor Group, not only for the work you do but the way you do it.”

God Bless,

I would like to take this time to thank Tricia Del Guercio and Non Profit Advisor Group for working so hard and holding my hand through the process of obtaining my company’s 501(c)(3).  I appreciate the way your company kept the communication door open for me and was able to satisfy all of my questions.  There are so many companies that make promises that they do not keep, but I’m proud to say I am more than impressed with the work you have done for me and my company.  Ms. Del Guercio, you are a god send and I especially want to thank you.  I highly recommend Non Profit Advisor Group.  Keep up the good work, look forward to doing more with you in the future.

Working with the Non Profit Advisor Group made the process easier by simplifying things for me. It has been a great pleasure working with this group in ensuring that I have the resources, information, and tools ready to kick start my organization. The process was simplify for me and I am glad to have a mentor like Tricia for being there for me throughout. I would have no doubts to recommend this group. They have the expertise and patience to work with anyone and at any level of the process. Going into the process, I was not prepared for the amount of information needed to get the paper work started. The Non Profit Advisor Group was there to communicate with me, helped me fill out the application and made the process faster and effective for me. I would like to thank all of its members for contributing to make my organization a success. Like I mentioned earlier, I would not hesitate to refer people to this group. In fact, if I hear anyone planning to start a Non Profit, I will send them directly to the Non Profit Advisor Group, as it is my number trusted group in the industry.

Yes, I received the official letter.  It came at approximately Christmas Eve.  Thank you very much and I’m very pleased.  If you all need any promotional advertising just reach out to me I would be glad to assist.

Tricia, I am now in receipt of both tax exempt letters. Thank you ever so much for your diligence in shepherding two applications through for us. We are eternally grateful to you. I shall probably be sending some more business your way of people who ask me how did I get my 501 c 3 approved so fast.  Peace & Joy !

Hello Tricia,  I just got the letter today! We are approved! Bless the name of Jesus!!! Thank you so much!!!!  I really appreciate you and your husband and the work you do!!!!!  Thank You Forever !

Hello Tricia!  When researching the steps to start a non-profit, the process became quite daunting – but after finding Tricia,  I am now knowledgeable and an operating charitable organization! She made the process easy and enjoyable… I couldn’t wait to see her emails in my inbox.  I have a few friends in the beginning stages of their charities that I will be sending her way!

Tricia and Mark, I’m humbled by the level of professionalism and integrity that you and your team have. And I know that didn’t come over night.  I believe that you have carefully hand picked your team members, in so much that you go out of your way to make sure that they have the same integrity, as they represent you and the company to the many clients you have and the thousands they will be coming.  I feel that the foundation that God instructed me to put up under T.L. Lewis Ministries, could have not been achieved this quickly had I not brought the Non Profit Advisor Group on board headed up by Tricia and Mark. I even had some say its not possible, or that I didn’t need this. The way that my vision was respected and how the vision of my ministry was treated with integrity, I’m forever grateful. { I highly recommend the Non Profit Advisor Group, Inc. } with Tricia and Mark’s team to any Ministry that God has called to step up to bring hope and to serve your fellow man. The Non Profit Advisor Group is the vehicle you need to jump start your Ministry or Business. Thank you so much for making T.L. Lewis Ministry a reality.  Your friend Sr. Pastor and Evangelist Timothy L. Lewis

Hi Tricia, Great news; Whoop, Whoop!  I received a letter from IRS that says, “We’re pleased to tell you we determined you’re exempt from federal income tax under IRC Section 501 (c) (3).”!! Effective date of the exemption is September 16,  2014.  Thanks so much for all your great help!  Cheers !

I am so thankful getting the professional help from Tricia, and the Non Profit Advisor Group. Tricia was so helpful and made the process that seemed to be overwhelming to making it possible, in a matter of months.  The process started toward the end of January and was able to get my tax exempt status within three months.  During the time transition,  that is  waiting period,  Tricia, counseled  me at least three times out of the week, even on Saturdays!  She was instrumental in making sure that I described what I wanted, and what I wanted my  organization to do,.  The work was done for me… I was so amazed! I was also able to enroll in a webinar to keep me informed as to how to get assistance with donations.  I would highly recommend anyone who would consider getting a non-profit organization with tax exempt status to contact Tricia, and her Non-Profit Advisor Group for assistance.   What a  POWER team!!
