There is still more to do, but you’ll be well on your way to reclaiming your independence and upholding your duty of leadership!
OPEN A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION
The first step to launching any campaign is forming your committee. To do this, you will need to create your corporate documents and file them with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The good news is that we provide you with the templates you will need, so establishing your committee is as easy as filling out what we’ve already built for you and filing it with the state.
GET YOUR TAX ID FROM THE IRS
Before you start raising money, you’ll want to have everything in order. Register as a non-profit with the IRS, and they’ll issue you a tax ID that will establish your campaign’s ability to start raising funds.
OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT
Opening a bank account is fast, easy, and can mostly be done online. While we don’t recommend any one bank over another, TD Bank was the institution we found to fit a grassroots effort like ours, and they’ll likely work for you, too.
REGISTER AS A CANDIDATE IN ALABAMA
Once you’ve found the leadership position for you, make it official by registering as a candidate.
After this step, you will be an official candidate for public office. Now the work begins sharing with others how you’re going to make tomorrow better than it is today!
