It's best to find a nonprofit that is already doing work with the same kind of people and ask to start your program within their operation, OR to work with a church or a group that has tax-deductible status and start your program. Otherwise, you spend all your time filing your tax-deductible status paperwork and you don't start your program. Another thing is that starting a nonprofit means understanding bookkeeping, database management, fund raising and personnel, and so it's better to work with a group that already handles all that so you can just do the work you want to do.

Don't go into fitness, because the YMCA will take you down. Remember that your goal is to still exceed expenses, but to then give the money back to the community or designated sources.
Get ready to get dirty because you still have to compete just as hard as you would as a profit organization!
