[Hidden-tech] Setting up a non-profit historical trust

[Chris Hoogendyk]

How simple is it actually to set up a non-profit in Massachusetts?

Are there enough pitfalls that one really should have the help of a lawyer?

I'm interested in setting up a historical trust that would solicit 
donations, write grants, and fund specific projects that meet the stated 
objectives of the trust. Bank account, board of directors, agent in 
residence (me), etc.

Just get forms from the State and do it?

Are there self help sites that are really to be avoided? (Showing up in 
Google sponsored ads when you do a search.) Or ones that are legit and 
helpful? Or recommendations for a lawyer?
