Human: How do you get a 501(c)(3) status? Assistant: 
You have to file a Form 1023 with the IRS. The form asks for a lot of information about the organization, including the organization’s mission and how it plans to use its assets. It also asks for a copy of the organization’s articles of incorporation. The IRS looks at these documents to determine whether the organization meets the requirements to be classified as a 501(c)(3).
