YOU cannot become tax exempt. The charity can, but any wages it pays you are FULLY taxable.

First step, consult with an attorney. Non-profit status is conferred by the states and each state's rules are unique. Once that's out of the way you can apply for status under IRC Code Sec 501(c)3 so that your donors can deduct their contributions to the charity.
