A fantastic experience!
They said it would take a lot of the work out of forming a nonprofit - and they were right! I have been involved in nonprofits before and have never had such a great experience. It was as easy as answering some questions, then they did the rest. Farwa was excellent, making sure that things were done correctly and on time. We received our IRS letter in 45 days from submission!

Former Hapoy Client
In 2016 I was so overwhelmed with starting my nonprofit that I called them for help. I was new to the sector and really needed guidance and lots of questions answered. I was so glad to find out that Christian was still the CEO. He was the most helpful person that I had ever encountered. I'm so sure he did things for me that cost money but he never charged me he sincerely wanted to make sure my nonprofit was set up correctly and for that I'm so grateful because I'm still in business and going strong so thank you sooooooo much. Also the people that work for him is just as helpful OMG, Liz is amazing I'm so glad that she works for Instant Nonprofit because I had some questions about trademarks even though they could not help me they steered me to someone that could. Liz you are the best!!!! If you need your 501c3 please do yourself a favor and call Instant Nonprofit they will go the extra mile and then some to set you up for success

I personally am so touched by your message. My heart has always been in building real relationships with founders, not just filing paperwork - and I am so proud that spirit still defines InstantNonprofit today. Liz is a shining example of that same care, and we’re so glad she was able to guide you even beyond our scope.

5 stars to christian,Liz and the entire team at instant non-profit.
Starting a nonprofit is no small feat—especially when your mission is as bold as saving lives through free esports academies and digital empowerment. We needed more than paperwork—we needed precision, protection, and people who got it. Instant Nonprofit delivered all three, and then some.
From day one, they treated our vision like it mattered. Not just a file to process, but a movement worth backing. Their system is streamlined and legal docs are airtight—exactly what we needed to keep our foundation safe while launching with full confidence. But what stood out most was their integrity. Real humans, real help, and no sugarcoating. They tell you what matters, what to fix, and how to fly.
Because of them, the GamerZDojo Foundation is now federally recognized and blazing forward in the fight against teen suicide, poverty, and digital disconnection. Our 501(c)(3) status came faster than expected, and we’ve already begun partnering with cities, families, and law enforcement to bring esports-based healing to youth nationwide.
If you're serious about starting a nonprofit—especially one that's community-driven and mission-first—stop searching. You don't need another guru or template. You need Instant Nonprofit. They’re not just a service—they’re the launchpad.

Wow. We are truly honored by your words and inspired by the mission behind the GamerZDojo Foundation. From day one, it was clear you weren’t just building a nonprofit - you were launching a movement. And we’re beyond proud to have helped lay the legal and strategic foundation for something so powerful.
Saving lives through esports, digital empowerment, and community healing is bold, urgent work - and it deserves more than cookie-cutter advice or automated filings. Thank you for recognizing that our team, from Liz and Christian to every member behind the scenes, shows up with real care, real clarity, and real commitment.
Your early momentum speaks volumes, and we can’t wait to see your impact expand across cities, families, and communities. You’re proving that nonprofits can be innovative, tech-driven, and transformational - and that the right launchpad makes all the difference.
To every founder reading this: If your mission feels bigger than the system - don’t settle. Let’s build it right, together.
Cheering you on all the way,

Made a Complicated Process So Much Easier – Highly Recommend!
I began the nonprofit process back in March, and I’ll be honest—it felt like a long road at times. My case was a bit more complex than most, and the process took longer than I expected. That said, I couldn’t have done it without the support of the team (Liz and Farwa) at Instant Nonprofit. This was truly a team effort, and I’m incredibly grateful for their guidance and expertise along the way.
A special shoutout goes to Farwa, who took over my case and made all the difference. From the moment she stepped in, she was helpful, responsive, and always professional. She kept me informed through every step, answered my questions quickly, and was incredibly patient. Navigating the IRS and various government departments on your own can be overwhelming, frustrating, and time-consuming. Without someone like Farwa leading the charge, I likely would have given up.
Thanks to her, I crossed the finish line and am now the proud founder of an official nonprofit. I’m beyond grateful and relieved.
If you’re thinking about starting a nonprofit and feeling intimidated by the paperwork or government processes, I would highly recommend using Instant Nonprofit. Their knowledge, tools, and customer service—especially from team members like Farwa—truly make the difference.

Unacceptable mistakes
After 4 months of working with InstantNonprofit, I ended up going to file the Articles of Incorporation for my state on my own. Their previous attempts at filing it were filled with sloppy mistakes. The very mistakes I had hired a company to avoid.
My Articles of Incorporation and EIN have different organization names on them, so even the thing they did do was done incorrectly so I have to fix that too.
I asked for a partial refund, which I felt was generous on my behalf, all things considered, but was not given one.
At this point, I had completely lost trust in the service and decided to file the paperwork for my nonprofit myself. I'm giving them 2 stars because I used some of the forms they provide.
At best, this company is incompetent, but the level of incompetence reached such heights that I thought I might be getting scammed. Considering the lack of a refund, maybe I was.

Exceptional Support and Seamless Experience Launching My Nonprofit with Instant Nonprofit
I had an outstanding experience with Instant Nonprofit while launching my organization in New York. After a disappointing attempt with another firm, I was initially skeptical, but Instant Nonprofit quickly won my trust. Liz answered all my questions thoroughly and never pressured me, which made a huge difference. Once I decided to move forward, Taylor took over and made the process seamless-her encouragement, regular communication, and efficiency helped ease all my anxieties. I felt informed, empowered, and supported throughout. The team was transparent, responsive, and genuinely cared about my success. Highly recommend Instant Nonprofit to anyone looking to start their own nonprofit!
