Intro Issue: Why We’re Building a Nonprofit Holding Company — And Why You Might Want To

👋 Welcome

Welcome to the introductory issue of Nonprofit YOUR Business — the only newsletter showing you how to legally use a nonprofit to hold, protect, and grow your for-profit business.

This isn’t theory.
Starting in mid-June, we’re going to build one in real time — and show you how to do the same.

🧠 What This Newsletter Is About

This is for founders, freelancers, operators, and business owners who are tired of being overtaxed and underprotected.

Instead of your business owning everything, your nonprofit will own your business.

That means:

• Lower taxes

• Protected assets

• Long-term control

• Legal structure that scales

Hospitals, schools, and billion-dollar orgs already do this. We’re showing how you can, too — step by step.

📦 What You’ll Get

Starting in mid-June, each week, you’ll receive:

• ✅ Real-time build-along emails

• 📄 IRS-compliant templates + filing tools

• 🎥 Video walkthroughs: EIN, 1023-EZ, board setup

• 🧩 Real-world case studies (like Newman’s Own)

• 💰 Tech + tool discounts (Canva, TechSoup, Microsoft 365)

• 🔐 How to stay in control while staying compliant

📈 Why It Matters

Most founders operate under an LLC or S-Corp.
That means exposure, higher taxes, and no long-term strategy.

By creating a nonprofit holding company:

• You keep control

• You reduce risk

• You optimize your structure legally

• And yes — you can still make money

🛠 What’s Next

In the (real) first issue, we’ll:

• Choose our nonprofit type + name

• Search for an available .org domain

• Find a registered agent to incorporate our nonprofit

• Draft our mission

• Prep for the IRS filing

📣 What To Do Now

✅ Follow the build on X
✅ Share this with someone ready to build smarter

Let’s build smarter — and keep more of what’s yours.
See you in the first issue.
