Yes, you are a non-profit corporation once you are filed with the state. However, your corporation will still be liable for income taxes. Donations made to your non-profit will not be tax deductible without tax exempt status. Further, it may also be difficult to obtain grants if you are not a 501(c)(3) organization.
