Uh, it's not that difficult to incorporate as non-profit in Delaware. 
Afterwards about the only requirement is a yearly payment of the 
requisite fee and the maintenance of a physical address (as opposed to a 
PO Box) to receive mail.  There are requirements attached to being a 
corporation like having a Board of Directors and a structure though, but 
they're minimal, almost any real organization can comply especially one 
that isn't out to make money.
