I recently spoke to my accountant for this very same thing. We'd like to start a non-profit organization. It's not a difficult process to do the paperwork, but since I'm not an accountant, I felt more comfortable letting my accountant do the work and paying him for his services. This also leads to the benefit of him knowing already that everything is registered and setup correctly and not having to fix something done incorrectly.
You can stay as a not-for-profit business without filing, the difference of course is that you cannot say that the donations are tax deductable.
