If you search this message board, you will find lots of great information on filling out your 1023. Since you are a new school, I would also suggest you consider joining PTO Today Plus

Hello all. We are starting a PTO at our new charter school. My question deals with the difficulties in filling out form 1023. We have a
lot of great ideas but since we are a new school we have not held any events/activities yet. Am I ok to fill out form 1023 and use narrative descriptions of our planned activities? The 501(c)(3) status is important because we'd like to be able to apply for the many grants available to tax-exempt orgs. Thanks for any input.
