The NonProfit Training
Institute
When some
people think about nonprofit organizations, they think of art
museums and symphonies. Some think of large national or
international public charities that have become recognized
institutions. Others think of small community groups offering
job training programs or soup kitchens feeding the homeless.
At the
NonProfit Training Institute (NPTI), we think of all of these.
We also think of the Underground Railroad and the Civil Rights
Movement. And we think of churches, schools and
people--organizing to assist the elderly, the young and the
handicapped. Then we think of people walking out into their
communities and, along with seeing needs, they see a vision of
how they might work to address those needs. Then they help
others to see the vision and become inspired to join them in the
work. From joblessness to hopelessness, from economic
development to social outreach, and from health care to elderly
care, the Nonprofit Training Institute serves the needs of
committed visionaries who dream of making a positive impact on
the problems in their communities. NPTI works to make dreams
become a reality. The visionaries start with a vision and a
commitment to give birth to a missionary endeavor. We hold
their hands and help them deliver.
The Mission
of the NonProfit Training Institute is to promote excellence in
the establishment and continued survival of viable community
organizations. NPTI accomplishes this by providing technical
assistance and training for emerging, new and established
nonprofits and by advocating the adoption of professional ethics
and standards for community organizations. In addition, NPTI
encourages volunteerism and sponsorship for the most worthy
community endeavors.
The
NonProfit Training Institute is an Internal Revenue Service
recognized 501©(3) public charity based in Atlanta, Georgia

501(C)(3)
THE WORKSHOP–2008-
NOW OFFERED ONLINE!
During
one full day of training, an NPTI lead trainer conducts
501(c)(3) the Workshop and assists participants
in the completion of all of the paperwork involved in
the process of applying for tax-exempt status with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The trainer steps
participants through every question in the IRS
Application Form 1023 and all of its applicable
schedules for the nonprofit organizations present.
The NPTI trainer helps participants to understand the
relevance of the questions to the public charity
standards that their organization will need to comply
with as
an IRS recognized public charity.
Participants also receive copies of all of the forms for
their establishment at the State level that are
prerequisite for obtaining IRS recognition as well as
the compliance forms they will need to later complete
for the Internal Revenue Service. The NPTI trainer uses
the published manual 501(c)(3) The Courseware as
a text for this training and provides participants with
copies of instructional materials and worksheets to
facilitate their understanding of the process and
development of their applications. 501(c)(3) The
Courseware was published in 1998 by Jackquelyn
Johnson-Ramsey, Founder and President of The NonProfit
Training Institute, as an instructional manual for lay
persons trying to complete IRS Application Form 1023.
In the hands on environment of 501(c)(3) The Workshop,
participants need only come with a working knowledge of
the mission that they wish to fulfill in the
community. All other materials & instructions are
provided by NPTI. Participants complete the application
during the training and they are prepared to submit
their packages to the Internal Revenue Service.
Additional Information
In eleven
(11) years of doing 501(c)(3) The Workshop,
evaluation scores from participants have never averaged
below 9 out of 10 possible points. NPTI has never
received a report of a student that did not get their
approval and tax-exempt status once they submitted their
applications to the Internal Revenue Service.
This kind of assistance
from private attorneys and consultants, if provided,
would cost thousands of dollars. In most cases,
attorneys and consultants focus only on completing the
application. NPTI recognizes that participants need a
working knowledge of the compliance issues that
acquiring this status requires. NPTI ensures that its
students understand such compliance so that they can
avoid the pitfalls that have befallen so many
organizations attempting to serve the community without
the necessary training and preparation.
