* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It was almost too easy to be true! Just follow directions! The 800 number and personal help really gave me peace & assurance. I highly recommend this service.

I found your ministry to be extremely helpful. We are told that getting an IRS determination in a total of 3 months is remarkable. You kept us moving, explained the pitfalls and how to avoid them, and gave detailed guidance, almost like a cookbook, each step of the way. We appreciate that as we are busy people and would have gotten mired down in the paperwork without your help. Thank you so much. I will recommend your service to anyone who asks. In fact, I already have!

We could not have asked for better service. Everything was worked out smoothly. When we ran into problems, you walked us through them.
We would highly recommend you to others who need help in incorporation etc.
Thank you again for your superb service.

We think you all did a splendid job. The procedures/steps are clear and you also take care before hand our likelihood of mistakes so as not to waste time in the process.
We have no complaints and want to congratulate you for completing the job in reasonable time. Thank you.

It was an extremely positive experience working with [David Marmon]. The high point of my experience was when I found out that all the tough work had been done for me and that all I needed to do was answer simple questions.
With my busy schedule, and fear of paperwork, I don’t think I could ever have incorporated and obtained my tax-exempt status as easily as I did. Thanks very much for a job done very well.

One thing that I have learned over the years is that people for whatever reason, sometimes do not meet our expectations. Possibly due in part to our humanness, or possibly just that words are just a bad way to communicate.
I can honestly say that you and your [service] never disappointed me; not even once. You met or exceeded my expectations at every turn. Well done. I would recommend your service to anyone seeking tax-exempt status ....
Bobby Dale Talbott, MAIN STREET CROSSING, Tomball, TX

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thank you for your help! Excellent! You walked us through the process step by step. Couldn't have been made easier. You were always available to assist us, answer questions, and keep us on track. I have already recommended you to two other start-up organizations.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[David Marmon] personified integrity. I could not have started Volunteer Missions International without their timely and professional assistance. They assisted me every step of the way. They patiently answered my questions and promptly responded to my needs. It is financially fair. I talked with several [nonprofits] who had already spent from $3500 to over $5000 trying to obtain tax-exempt status.
John S. DeLoache, VOLUNTEER MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL, Franklin, TN

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I would highly recommend [David Marmon] to anyone who needs help in obtaining non-profit and tax-exempt status.[David Marmon] and his staff made it look so easy. All I did was give them information over e-mail and they did the rest. In less than one month, we were a non-profit organization. And then less then two months, we were tax-exempt!
[Their] honesty was very important in my decision to use his [service]. Thank you [David Marmon] and staff for helping make our calling a reality.

Dear Erin,
Greetings ...!
I'd be happy to share my comments with you concerning [David Marmon] and my process. They were EXCELLENT and I truly mean that. It could not have been any easier. [They] took care of everything from start to finish.
Twice I received "homework" which was basically filling out forms with info pertinent to my [nonprofit] and aside from that, they did it all. I understand that the length of process may vary in each case, but mine took less than 3 months total. They are professional, people of integrity....
Pat Gregory, PROPHETIC FIRE MINISTRIES, INT'L, Woodstock, AL

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On a scale of 1-100, I give [David Marmon] a 100!! Thank you for your patient and expert guidance through the tax-exempt process with the IRS. There are no words to express our gratitude.... I would recommend you to any [nonprofit] who is seeking for the tax-exempt status, whether they are just starting or whether they have been open for a few years.
You took the confusion out of it all. Thank you for your personal ... attention.
Lucy Redden, GRACE TABERNACLE OF DELIVERANCE CHURCH, INC., Laurel DE

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thanks for all your spiritual and moral support. Though I have never met you personally, I feel that I've know you for a long time, because of your Christian "character" conversations over the phone.
I pray that we'll meet some day and I would highly and strongly recommend your services to any one. In Christ, I remain,
Joe Carrales, FAITH CHRISTIAN CENTER OF FREER, INC., Freer, TX

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I can't believe the process submitted completed application on May 29, 2002 and the IRS approved our application for tax exemption on July 9, 2002. That is approval in 42 days!
Your homework system to get the job done is fantastic. God bless you richly for your help.
Pastor Joe, THE CHRISTIAN AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE CHURCH OF CHESTER, INC., Boothwyn, PA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Your ministry has been an answer to our prayers. It has been such a comfort to know that you truly were there when we had questions, concerns, frustrations and anxieties about the tax exempt process. Additionally, when you say that those you serve are in your prayers, we believe that with all our hearts. We were aware of your prayers. We would highly recommend you to anyone who truly desires to glorify God in their approach to the tax-exempt process. Thank you and may the Lord bless you richly in return.

A great service, run with excellence. There were no low points. I would recommend El Shaddai to anyone answering the call to start a ministry. No improvements needed.

Thank you again for your assistance with incorporation & tax-exempt status. I feel very satisfied with the process and have no regrets. From the time that I mailed you my info sheet and check to the time the IRS manager approved my exemption, 90 days elapsed. I found this timeframe to exceed my expectation. This process was easy. Be blessed,
Michael Healy, MICHAEL HEALY MINISTRIES, Lacy, WA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Great job! I enjoyed the whole process! The outlines and guidance made the process extremely easy! I would highly recommend El Shaddai Ministries to anyone seeking incorporation. I can't think of anything that you should change. You have the process perfected! Thanks again.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I feel great! Your step by step instructions made the whole process so easy. In less than 4 months from start to finish! We are now a "legal" non-profit corporation with tax-exempt status. All the tips you gave us about Board of Directors, meetings, etc., was so helpful, too.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I am very pleased with your service to us. I think I was on a continual high point through the process. You were there by way of e-mail and phone when I needed to talk with you. Your material was very specific in layout out the procedures and your costs were reasonable. I would, and already have told others about your ministry. Thank you....

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I really appreciate all the help [David Marmon] was in this process. Several times I felt lost but you were always there to walk me through the process. It took a while 'cause the IRS had never heard of a [nonprofit] like mine. However, with a lot of patience, we made it. Thank you for all you did. I would recommend you to my friends if they need your services.
Sherry LeSage, LION OF JUDAH INTERNATIONAL DANCE MINISTRY, Millbrook, AL

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[David Marmon] provided excellent services. [They were] a joy to work with. This [service] is trustworthy and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking the kind of services that [David Marmon] provides.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[David Marmon] provided the detailed information required for a successful filing plus did much of the initial work to complete critical requirements of IRS. We also appreciated the time table with critical due dates and the rapid response to inquiries.
We would definitely recommend [David Marmon] to any organization for important assistance in completing the IRS filing protocols.
John A. Schillinger, CARE FACILITATORS INTERNATIONAL, INC., Cumming, IA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thank you so much for your excellent service. As you know, when I contacted you initially, I had already begun the process of incorporation.... However, I was in a tremendous time crunch as the production of my six day per week ... radio broadcast was getting underway. I desperately needed help to complete the process of obtaining our 501(c)(3). Your [service] saved the day. The pressure from which you relieved me (by taking over the paperwork jungle) was worth every penny of your fee. I highly recommend your service!
Rita Langeland, HIDDEN WITH CHRIST MINISTRIES, Tustin, CA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We loved this service. We didn’t have to worry about anything through this process, and everything was taken care of. Thank you so much! We couldn’t have done it without you. We would definitely recommend you to other organizations.
Joanne Cheng, KINGDOM VENTURES, INC., Cambridge, MA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We're writing you to say "Thank You!" for all of your assistance in walking us through the process. From the initial "Getting Started" page to us receiving our final 501(c)(3) Determination letter, your professionalism, timeliness .... and ... counsel has been appreciated.
I would like to commend [David Marmon] for taking what, to most, is a very complex and "overwhelming" process, and turning it into a relatively simple endeavor. I believe that the key to that simplicity is the way that you have put together the "Homework" Questionnaires that we were required to complete. They were easy to understand, and written in layman's language.
Thanks again for all of your help. I will recommend your services to others that may be in need of your expertise.
Apostle Clarence E. Vinnett, Senior Pastor, SOLID ROCK CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, Kenner, LA

I found your services to be more than adequate. I appreciated your prompt replies to questions that I sent to you. The workbook (homework) was easy to understand and easy to fill out. I would have no trepidation in recommending your services to others. Thanks.

Truly we have invested our funds well when we entrusted in your Office the task of working for our tax-exemption certificates as well as our incorporation needs. Everything was professionally done on time, even our telephone consultation was very pleasant. Now we could work full blast with our [nonprofit's] goals through our tax-exempt organization.
I would surely recommend your office to other groups that needed your services.

I would most definitely recommend you to others seeking their tax-exempt status. I really was satisfied when I could easily contact you by e-mail about my questions and concerns. I also am thankful for the [help] you extended to me when we had trouble with one of the directors.

Thank you for all that you did to move the incorporation process through the proper channels. Your expertise allowed us to focus on [nonprofit activities], not the legalities of Corporate America. I will refer others to you without question.

Discovery Fellowship would certainly recommend [David Marmon] for their friendly and professional assistance in the process of incorporation and federal tax exemption. We’re thankful that you presented all your information in such an “up front” way and gave extremely clear guidance. You really helped us understand and navigate the waters of these legal processes. We felt encouraged and cheered on by your notes in the correspondence, e-mails and phone calls. When we had questions, you always were ready to help to the extent that you could.
Using [David Marmon] was really cost effective for us, too. All costs were visible from the onset of the process, so weren’t hit with any surprise charges once we had committed to the process. Thanks!
Bruce Farra, DISCOVERY FELLOWSHIP, Jim Thorpe, PA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

From the very first time we talked to you over the telephone, we knew we were in good hands. Filing for the corporation and exempt status was truly a new venture for us. You talked us through the filling out of all the paperwork, were sensitive to our needs.... Who could ask for anything more? Thank you again for all your hard work and for always being patient with us.

Everything was a high point. But I would have to say the payment plan made it possible. I would recommend you in a heartbeat to everyone I know. I have you on my website as a link partner. You cannot improve your service, so don’t change a thing.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We want to thank you and [David Marmon] for all the great help that was made available. It was a great pleasure talking with you on the phone. Finding a friendly ... voice at the other end of the line to... encourage during the time of incorporating and getting our tax-exempt status was more than we expected. You always returned our calls and answered our questions in a timely manner. It really is great knowing there are ... companies like yours ready to help and assist. We would be honored to recommend [David Marmon] to anyone who might possibly need help.

The cost of acquiring a 501C3 was a concerning factor, but your reasonable fee enabled us to proceed. Thank you for your highly organized process and expedient service. [David Marmon] is certainly a [service] of excellence. You made it extremely easy to get our 501C3. We were expecting something much more difficult, but your organized forms made it so easy.
The time it took was very minimal because you have everything practically completed except a few questions. We would certainly recommend you highly to anyone. We do not see any area of service that could have been better.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In two words, we would describe your service as "Personal" yet "Professional." We felt very confident going through the would-be tedious process of incorporation, knowing that you were there by our side, helping us each step of the way! You also always answered our questions/phone calls quickly and with professionalism. Thank you so much!
Paul and Cathy Lawrence, BREATH OF THE ALMIGHTY MINISTRIES, Laguna Niguel, CA

We certainly appreciated your help. We thought your service was great and we are feeling good about the foundation you've given us. Thanks for the personal touch you also add. Nick is in China and we are getting a lot of things established. I have recommended you to a friend. Hope your trip to Israel was great.
Mary Cay Burt, CHINA PASSAGE, INC., Cheswick, PA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

We thank you very much for the quick service we received from you. We do not believe that you could improve on your service. It is hard to improve on perfection.
We will recommend you and your service to anyone. You have done everything that you promised and more, and in a timely fashion. We received our tax-exempt status sooner than expected.

I am actually without the words adequate enough to give the person reading this recommendation an absolute picture of the integrity ... of [David Marmon] . I recommend this [service] highly.
[David Marmon] takes [you] step by step through the process of incorporation and tax exemption in such a gentle and precise way that your part in it is truly an enjoyable learning experience. Thinking back on the whole process: We began in June; we were 501(c)(3) in September! Amazing!!! And at less cost to us than hiring our own personal tax lawyer....
Joan O’Neal Jones, LAITY FOR SOUND TEACHING, Natchez, MS

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

To all who may wonder:
At the end of the whole procedure (tax-exempt status has been granted), I am so thankful that I was led to allow [David Marmon] to handle the whole process. I suppose many are wary, like I was, of handling something of such importance without a face-to-face contact. But, I am so pleased with the efficiency and concern of this organization that I would recommend them without reservation to anyone - and especially for novices like myself. I have a local friend that began the process months before I did. He is now on his second lawyer and is already $500.00 over what I spent - and he is still at square one.
I can't think of a single way to improve on your service. For me, everything was exceedingly simple. I had phone and e-mail access given as I needed it, and I never felt pressured to "hurry up and get off the phone" or "quit sending e-mails." Responses were always timely to my questions, and everything proceeded as promised. Start to finish was about 6 months.
Thank You, Thank You, for being even better than advertised.

The service was excellent. I can't think of any way to improve it. I have recommended your [service] to a couple of others contemplating filing for 501c3. I am happy to be a testimonial for your service. You can use my name any time.

We appreciate your help and feel that the format was easy to follow. Since we were not affiliated with any group, it was necessary to come up with our ... purpose, etc. which took time and discussion. Thanks for your patience.

It is very "user" friendly!!!
Just a tremendous THANK YOU!!! ... to have been able to get your help in this process. Your [service] to [nonprofits] like mine that are just beginning and financially compressed. HO! Thank you so very much.... I have heard many horror stories by other [nonprofits] who have struggled through this process at a great expense only to fail in the end.

[David Marmon] accomplished the services contracted in an efficient, expeditious and courteous manner. They use current technologies and make the process simple and concise. The time required by following the directives they offer makes the completion of Tax Exempt Status minimal.
I would suggest you investigate other services and then compare. You will then realize the bargain that [David Marmon] provides. [David Marmon] was a gentleman and most pleasant to work with.

Paul and Catherine Lawrence,
I am writing to you concerning [David Marmon]. My husband and I are in the foundation stages of starting a work in Cleveland, TN. We have been looking into become a non profit organization and all that this entails. I have contacted a local lawyer who has quoted me a price. One couple who is working with us found [David Marmon] online. It sounds good, but we don't want to be fooled. I am writing to you to see how you found this [service] to be and how it worked for you. Thank you so much for your time and consideration in this matter. Much Blessings!
Tina Baker

Hello Tina,
I found [David Marmon] to be highly efficient, prompt, and true to his word. He also was very helpful, always returned my many calls promptly, and was very patient in answering my MANY questions. I recommend him and his [service] without any reservation. We were very pleased.
PS He made the whole process VERY simple while remaining professional and yet more personal than probably a conventional lawyer would be.

We have been extremely satisfied with your services. I would highly recommend your services to everyone. You were always available whenever we called and really appreciated your very personal interest.

How can I say thanks for the wonderful help you gave us. The process was too overwhelming for me as I looked at the Internal Revenue Service paperwork. That is when I decided to call you. I checked out your references, and you have certainly exceeded my expectations.
You walked me through the process even when I had an end of the year deadline. It certainly helped that we were able to do most of it by e-mail.
Your kind and gentle spirit was refreshing to me each time I called. Thank you and your wonderful staff for all you did to answer my questions and calm my fears. Shalom.

I have always believed the warning — "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" — but it is also true that "There is an exception to every rule." And [David Marmon] is that exception.
I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn’t know how to do it. So I sought an expert. Every "expert" I could find wanted more money and time from me than I could afford. However, you promised more and asked for less, and my skeptical self said, "This sounds too good to be true." My desperate self said, "Go for it!" Today my humbled self says to my skeptical self, "See!"
From the very beginning to the very end, your service was personal, professional and far above what I dared to hope for.

I would like to commend you and your organization for a wonderful job. I have heard horror stories of how long it took or how tedious it was to obtain nonprofit tax-exempt status. But I must say, that has not been the case for us. With your help, we are able to go forward and begin living the vision.... I would recommend your services to everyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart....! Sincerely,
Cheryl Guidry, LIGHTHOUSE UNITED, Beaumont, TX

Dealing with government agencies can be tough on anyone. It is especially tough on Pastors that have little extra time to devote to such issues. You, however, made it easy. The homework was difficult at times, but a necessary effort. Thanks for your expert help and guidance.
Darrin Mariott, METRO CHURCH, Santa Ana, CA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I honestly can’t think of any low points or negatives as far as our experiences are concerned. Obviously the Federal Homework is the most difficult, and not all of it. I think you prepared us well for what to expect. Most of the instructions were very clear, even though some things are worded in legal terms. I called a number of times with questions, and you were always patient, helpful, and encouraging.
We have already been contacted by someone interested in using your services, and we highly recommended you and will continue to do so!
I can’t think of any improvements you would need to make. Everything went very smoothly on our end! Sincerely,
Brian Hendrick, QUIET PLACE MINISTRIES, Parma, MI

What makes [David Marmon] ... good ... is the accuracy, accountability, sincerity.... The High points of our experience was the motivation to keep pressing forward to establish the goal of becoming a nonprofit organization.
We would definitely recommend [David Marmon] to others; in fact we already have. Thank you.

We had debated the "nonprofit status question" for years — it seemed to be a formidable task! When we contacted [David Marmon], [they were] so upfront with information. [They] answered all of our questions and went right to work. We were genuinely pleased with the thoroughness and quality of service we received from [David Marmon]. We highly recommend ... [David Marmon] and have been getting their name out whenever we could.

(1) I’ve already recommended you to two individuals.
(2) Extremely efficient and effective for a small group of people to get started.
(3) Fast service and friendly service.
(4) I’ve been involved in this process before with a C.P.A., and your service is far superior! We were rejected the 1st time and had to spend more time than necessary based on our experience with [David Marmon].

It was all "high points" in our experience. Every communication got us more excited about having a legitimate [nonprofit].
We like doctors and dentists to tell us what is going on every step of the way. [David Marmon] let us understand what we were doing, what [they were] doing, and what state and federal agencies were doing. We had a rough timetable and found our work to be completed sooner than estimated.
You will not find one more dedicated to your [nonprofit] than [David Marmon]. We will recommend this [service] to anyone who gets in touch with us, and we insist that prospects are asked to call us.
John & Judy McFarland, ENIGMA MINISTRIES, Enigma, GA

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Your service was very valuable to us. It allowed us to stay focused on developing the [nonprofit]. We were able to concentrate on areas where our passion is greatest, while relying on you to work in areas where we did not feel comfortable.
You have brought us forward in our journey....
We do recommend you to people considering the work of organizing a [nonprofit]. High points: Quick response to questions. Low points: Waiting for the government to move....
We would be glad to be a reference for your service—we all serve the same God!

I could not be happier with the service I received from [David Marmon]. You did everything that you said you would do in a prompt and professional manner. The amount of paperwork that I had to do was minimal, and the cost of your service was extremely reasonable compared to what I know others have paid for the same services.
To date I have received two inquiries re: your services and in both cases I have recommended you highly. Please feel free to refer any of your prospective clients to me in the future.
It has truly been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to a continuing relationship.

We want to thank you first of all for all of your help. [W]e weren't sure what to do as far as to obtain nonprofit status and incorporation. We checked out web sites thinking we could get an idea of how to go about this. It was during this time that we found [David Marmon].
You were always prompt in answering any questions we had, and explained everything when we weren't sure about something. The only low point, and I don't know if you could call it that, was when the IRS wanted more information before they granted our exemption. Again, you were very helpful in guiding us through.
We would certainly recommend you to someone else who needs incorporation and tax-exempt status, and we will do so whenever the opportunity arises. As far as improvement goes, excellence is hard to improve on.

Dear D.J.,
I have just found [David Marmon]'s web site and am very interested in their service. Since you have used their services, perhaps you can answer a couple of questions for me. I probably shouldn't be this skeptical, but unfortunately there are not so honorable [services] out there.... [D]id you ever compare their prices with anyone else's. I don't have a clue as to what this kind of service would cost elsewhere and don't want to pay more than I have to. I appreciate it very much if you can take time to answer these questions.
Mari M.

Hi, Mari,
I'm a skeptic too, having gotten "Too soon old, too late smart." But [David Marmon] is totally on the up-and-up. Yes, we compared prices with four other outfits. First they wanted to charge by the hour which was too open-ended and scary for us. Then they quoted set fees much, much higher than [David Marmon]. The nicest thing about [David Marmon] is he is FAST, very prompt, very helpful. We did everything by mail and e-mail. The whole process could have been completed much faster without having to wait for the government to respond. But Mr. Marmon responded immediately to every question in a manner even we could understand—with no "legalese" to scare us away. If you want prompt, simple, straightforward, inexpensive assistance, I highly recommend [David Marmon]. We couldn't have been more pleased. Sincerely,
D.J.McQuade-Lancaster, Coordinator, National Grandparents Day Council, GRANDPARENTS OF AMERICA, Chula Vista, CA

I just got off the phone with Tom F. down in Columbia, SC. He was looking for a referral re: your services. Of course I gave him a sterling report because you deserve it! I would imagine you should be expecting a call from him soon.
