HOW TO START YOUR OWN NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION

Kristen Stephens (Staci’s Mom) attended a short four-hour class, which was taught by Aretha Olivarez titled, “How to Start A Non Profit Organization” held at The Knowledge Shop (TKS) in Orlando, Florida.

Aretha Olivarez - An expert in helping others set up nonprofit corporations. She has worked with numerous individuals, civic, and religious organizations, helping them through the various aspects of filing for nonprofit status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. She is the author of ‘The Best Guide for Nonprofit Corporations Including Churches and Religious Organizations.

Aretha continually assists us in performing many activities related to our cause. Aretha’s web site contains a short video of Staci’s Mom discussing how easy it was to create the non-profit 501(c)3 organization despite previous failed attempts. You can view this testimony at the following link: http://www.multiplyingtalents.com/success_service.html

After attending Aretha’s class, using her materials provided, and following easy directions, we were able to establish “The Staci Stephens Fund, Inc. A 501(c)3 Non Profit Organization” without any help from attorneys all within six weeks!! This is an unbelievable timeframe. Aretha saved The Staci Stephens Fund, Inc. thousands of dollars, not to mention countless hours it would have taken to complete over 20 pages of forms. We are grateful for her skilled guidance and knowledge.

The easy steps to obtain this misunderstood and often difficult task included obtaining an incorporation completed in seven days, obtaining an employee identification number (EIN) instantaneously, and obtaining a 501(c)3 Non profit status within one month. Through this valuable information, we were able to save thousands of dollars in legal fees and other related charges.

STACI’S INVOLVEMENT WITH STUDENT VENTURE
(Campus Crusade for Christ’s High School Ministry Program)

Staci became active in Student Venture after attending an outreach to upcoming freshman cheerleaders and football players. She was 14 years old (August 2003) when she was invited to attend a Student Venture meeting and was a beginning freshman at Timber Creek High School located in Orlando, Florida, a public school of over 3300 students.

Staci accepted Christ on January 18, 2004, at the Student Venture Fastbreak Conference in Cocoa Beach. Additionally, Staci was rebaptized on January 15, 2005 (her sixteenth birthday) at the Fast Break Conference in Cocoa Beach. Staci was very active with Student Venture and was known on campus as a Christian leader. She was a member of Student Venture’s Servant Team, and helped plan meetings, outreaches, and activities. But most of all, Student Venture made a major impact on her spiritual life. This life changing conference caused her to re-think her life and how she was living it. If it weren’t for Student Venture, we wouldn’t be so sure as to where she was spending eternity.
