1. Definition of a Non-Profit Corporation

A non-profit corporation is a special type of corporation that has been organized to meet specific tax-exempt purposes. To qualify for non-profit status, your corporation must be formed to benefit (1) the public, (2) a specific group of individuals or (3) the membership of the non-profit.

Examples of non-profits include: religious organizations, charitable organizations, political organizations, credit unions and membership clubs such as the Elk's Club or a country club.
