A controlled path from early concept to governance documents, filing-ready packets, approved submission handoffs, and a recurring compliance calendar. Start online; a call is optional.
The formation coordinator assembles and checks the case file. It does not replace the authorized officer, agency account holder, attorney, CPA, enrolled agent, or registered-agent provider.
Start without a required consultation. CFGS confirms Tennessee jurisdiction, principal county and city, governance choices, and intended tax-exemption path.
The Statement of Work identifies CFGS preparation and coordination duties, outside filing fees, registered-agent arrangements, and decisions reserved for qualified reviewers.
The coordinator assembles drafts, checklists, evidence, and open questions. Officers and qualified reviewers approve the governing language and filing path.
CFGS may coordinate an authorized Tennessee or local filing under the approved scope. The responsible party controls EIN authorization. An authorized officer signs and submits Form 1023 or 1023-EZ in Pay.gov.
Staff verifies agency receipts, records effective dates, resolves exceptions, and activates the recurring compliance calendar.
No agent may sign, pay, transmit, create an agency account for a client, select a legal or tax classification, or represent approval. Every external action requires the named human owner and the correct agency channel.
Acceptance, exemption, registration, funding, and processing time are controlled by the receiving agencies and are never guaranteed.
Do not send passwords, Social Security numbers, taxpayer IDs, payment credentials, signatures, or banking data through a general website form or an automation task. CFGS requests sensitive items only through an approved secure channel when the work actually requires them.
