Oh goodness! This is a big endeavor, but worth the time and pain. I have a friend who did it, and after 2 years, she's just now getting a salary--a part-time salary, that is. It will vary by state and your cause (i.e. opportunities for grants), but I've linked a really good handout from an association for nonprofits in my state, as well as a resource list from Michigan State University. It'll give you a good overview.
Good luck!

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Starting and Running a Non-Profit Made Easy by Entrepreneur Press, David H. Bangs
* Starting and Running a Nonprofit Organization by Joan M. Hummel
* The Nonprofit Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Start and Run Your Nonprofit Organization by Gary M. Grobman
* Starting & Building A Nonprofit: A Practical Guide by Peri Pakroo
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
