Default Forming a non-profit info

Its time has come, and I will be forming a non-profit. Does anyone here have experience or advice to lend? I have the Nolo press book on the subject, and a few willing participants to assist. I am always looking for additional information. Thank You.

Forming a public trust corporation is a serious matter. Along with the benefits come responsibilities.

I would first ask if incorporation is really necessary? Can you partner with an existing not-for-profit whose mission aligns with what you seek to do?

If tax-deductibility of contributions is the chief concern, is there an existing not-for-profit 501c3 willing to serve as a pass-through fiscal agent?

Along with the other resources suggested, get the latest copy of The Oregon Nonprofit Corporation Handbook, published by TACs 503-239-4001
