One of your team should be a good lawyer. Or align yourself with another charity.
Hi! My first post in this forum. I'd like to get some valuable advice here. I belong to a team of a social organization and we are some youngsters planning to set up a charitable organization for the abused. We are raising fund from different sources. None of us have been into this before. Would like to know the requirements of starting a charitable organization. Should we take the help of an agent for this? How long will the procedures last.
