As someone involved with a charitable cause, you might be weighing the benefits of formally organizing your non-profit. Sure, it will take a little extra work, but only with a state-recognized non-profit corporation can you obtain private and public grants, low-cost postage rates and be exempt from income, sales and property taxes. Most importantly, only a formal non-profit corporation allows individuals to donate money tax-free, while shielding your personal assets from liability.
Our education center provides you with the general information you need for organizing a non-profit corporation. We cover background information, such as how to obtain IRS tax exemption and provide information on operating your non-profit corporation on a continuing basis. In addition, we answer many of the most common questions people have about forming a non-profit corporation.
