In Illinois, the filing fee for a Nonprofit is $50.

For the US Federal Government, the fee for an Exempt Organization
Determination Letter Request is $150, or $500, depending on the
level of receipts expected.

Given that fees to incorporate need not be large, a donation by one
or a few individuals may be sufficient to get the ball rolling.

There may even be a few people who are prepared to donate *before
they can take a tax deduction :-)

The above example is for illustration only, and not a recommendation
to choose Illinois or the US as the jurisdiction.
