How do you start a non-profit organization? -

Do I need an attorney? Or can I do it on my own? I need to fill out a 501c3 form. And that s pretty much all I know.

Here s a good overview of the procedure:http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-501c3-Non��

Get a group of people together suitable for the type of non-profit you want to start, one of whom would be an attorney. Sounds simple, I d say. He would take it from there and would probably get business from the group so would not charge you anything to start the corporation.
