The Nonprofit FAQs (http://www.nonprofits.org), now hosted at IdeaList, will give you information on all the paperwork you will need to file and administrative tasks you will have to go through in order to form a nonprofit. There are also tips on recruiting a board of directors.

But first, you need to get a very impassioned group of people together who support your idea, you need to get letters of endorsement from existing organizations saying this program is needed, and you need to have data that shows this group of women need whatever service it is that you want to provide and that they are not served otherwise.

I think the first thing you should do is work on what it is you want to do, because I really don't understand at all. The mission of your organization would be to serve whom? How? Why?
