A nonprofit corporation is a legal entity organized for public or charitable purposes, exempt from certain taxes, and governed by a board.
Bylaws are the rules that govern how a nonprofit is run, including board structure, meetings and voting procedures.
A 501(c)(3) status from the IRS allows a nonprofit to be exempt from federal income tax and enables public charitable activities.
Governing documents include articles of incorporation and the bylaws that set out the organization’s purpose and rules.
Depending on your goals, options may include forming a new entity, merging with another nonprofit or entering into strategic alliances. We help evaluate benefits and risks.
