how do you register a name of a new non profit organization?

Well, if you want to just be a non-profit you could just exist, or incorporate in your state. However, if you want to become a tax-exempt organization, you'll first need to get an employer identification number, which you can do online at irs.gov. Then you'll need to apply for federal tax exempt status (Form 1023). Read IRS Pub 557 for more information. After you get federal tax exempt status, getting state is usually pretty easy, but I believe that process varies from state to state.

You need to consider setting up a non-profit organization. I don't think you are going to be successful in soliciting donations without this status. Or, maybe you could partner with a non-profit in your area that has the same goals?\n\nA nonprofit organization (abbreviated "NPO", or "non-profit" or "not-for-profit") is an organization whose primary objective is to support some issue or matter of private interest or public concern for non-commercial purposes. Nonprofits may be involved in an innumerable range of areas relating to the arts, charities, education, politics, religion, research, sports or some other endeavor.\n\nIn the United States, nonprofit organizations are normally formed by incorporating in the state in which they expect to do business. The act of incorporating creates a legal entity enabling the organization to be treated as a corporation under law and to enter into business dealings, form contracts, and own property as any other individual or for-profit corporation may do.\n\nIn the United States, after a recognized type of legal entity has been formed at the state level, it is customary for the nonprofit organization to seek tax exempt status with respect to its income tax obligations. That is typically done by applying to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), although statutory exemptions exist for limited types of nonprofit organizations. The IRS, after reviewing the application to ensure the organization meets the conditions to be recognized as a tax exempt organization (such as the purpose, limitations on spending, and internal safeguards for a charity [1]), may issue an authorization letter to the nonprofit granting it tax exempt status for income tax payment, filing, and deductibility purposes. The exemption does not apply to other Federal taxes such as employment taxes. Additionally, a tax-exempt organization must pay federal tax on income that is unrelated to their exempt purpose.[2] Failure to maintain operations in conformity to the laws may result in an organization losing its tax exempt status.\n\nAlso in the United States, individual states and localities offer nonprofits exemptions from other taxes such as sales tax or property tax. Federal tax-exempt status does not guarantee exemption from state and local taxes. These exemptions generally have separate application processes and their requirements may differ from the IRS requirements. Furthermore, even a tax exempt organization may be required to file annual financial reports at the state and federal level.\n\nCapacity building is an ongoing problem faced by nonprofits that rely on external funding to maintain their operations, largely because nonprofit organizations have little control over their source(s) of revenue. Increasingly in the United States, many nonprofits rely on government funds to support their operations, often through grants, contracts, or customer-sided subsidies, such as vouchers or tax credits. Some nonprofits may also rely primarily on support from charitable foundations and donations. Changes in these sources of revenue may influence the reliability or predictability with which the organization can hire and retain staff, sustain facilities, or create programs. Increasingly, there are few sources of revenue that allow nonprofits to develop their organizational capacities.

Your State's Federal offices should be able to point you in the right direction. You may also want to consult an attorney before doing this as a non-profit is extremely complex to implement and maintain

A couple different ways I can think of.\n\nFirst, you could start a new LLC and just use the same name; e.g., if it's XYZ Event Planning, organize XYZ Travel Agency.  Ownership of the new LLC would mirror that of the event planning business.\n\nSecond, don't start a new LLC, just run the travel agency as a separate division from event planning (separate financials, although you'd only file one tax return for the business).

It depends on the nature of the organization. Non-profits must have certain provisions, charities must have the same and a few more provisions, and even for-profit organizations must by law have some provisions in their articles of organization, which must be recorded with the secretary of state or corporations division in the state of registration.\n\nBy-laws usually repeat any needed provisions, and those cannot be changed without running into legal problems, but you can make a lot of changes if they are not required by law.\n\nIt sounds like somebody needs to consult an experienced corporate lawyer.
