Creating a Nonprofit

[Kylie A.]

I want to start a nonprofit eventually to help the poor in the USA & other countries, and I'm considering using my own money or receiving government funds instead of relying on donations from people unless they're just rich ****s. I don't plan to do any fundraising, but I'm finding the paperwork and process quite daunting. If anyone has experience running their own nonprofit, could you walk me through the process and share how overwhelming the paperwork is?
