Forming a nonprofit organization in Virginia can easily be established.
A nonprofit is set up and established just like a for-profit enterprise venture, yet with one additional step where you must apply for tax-exempt status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
For Virginia, a nonprofit must be either a non-stock corporation or a limited liability company (LLC). In order to conduct fundraising, you must file a registration with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In addition, Nonprofits must obtain a local business license if required, and register with the Virginia Department of Taxation.
A nonprofit organization becomes tax-exempt, which allows businesses and individuals who donate to deduct their gifts when filing their federal income tax returns. So a nonprofit must file an application to become classified as a 501(c)(3) organization. You can find out further information from reading IRS publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization. All IRS forms can be obtained by calling 1-800-TAXFORM or you can also download the forms from the IRS website www.irs.gov

Need a business license? I just chanced upon a great website for all your business licenses, tax registration forms and all kinds of permits. Thousands of businesses use their services every day to be in compliance. They cover every business license, permit, and tax registration from a California Business License to a Florida Business License and all-states in-between. I really think that you should check it out! Their website is http://www.businesslicenses.com
Good Luck!
