Hello H:

You're probably going to need the guidance of a good attorney.. He can set it up, and tell you how to run it.

You would set up a state non profit corporation, then the corporation files a 501c3 application with the IRS. Once ( or if) it is approved they will send you a letter of notification

You don't create a foundation on behalf of your late husband. You can create one in his memory.

I would consult an attorney to get things setup properly.

Dear HarrahFound:
If you are a widower, that would make you a guy. If so, how did you have a husband, belated or not?

I agree.
