does anyone here know how to start a non profit organization
I had an idea to start an organization for single mothers with babies to help them with the many overwhelming costs of a baby. Hopefully dropping the number of abortions being done for this reason. Does anyone know were to start.

To be truly non-profit -- as in able to take tax deductible donations -- you need to talk to a lawyer. There are many requirements that must be met in order to be given non-profit status. This is to prevent fraud.

If you are looking to do something locally it might be worth contacting sure start if you have one in your area, or talking to the health visitors. If you want to do something on a bigger scale, maybe start a website and then see what kind of response you get.
