A: There are four primary types of nonprofit organizations in the United States, each with distinct goals and corporate structures, all enjoying tax-exempt status: Public Charities/501(c)(3) Organizations: Public charities, often referred to as 501(c)(3) organizations, typically provide affordable or free services to the public, funded through donations. These donations can come from private individuals or fundraising events aimed at securing financial support from members or advocates. Examples of public charities include food banks and animal welfare organizations. Social Advocacy Organizations: Social advocacy organizations, categorized as 501(c)(4) by the IRS, are member-based nonprofits that aim to achieve specific political change goals without pursuing profits. They utilize donations and membership dues to disseminate information that supports a particular social agenda. Well-known examples include the NAACP and the ACLU. Foundations: Foundations, also classified as 501(c)(3) organizations, are dedicated to improving communities, either through financial contributions to local smaller charities/nonprofits or by organizing events that benefit communities. Foundations are typically funded by and contribute on behalf of associated for-profit corporations. They are also required to donate a certain percentage of their income to other organizations annually. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a prominent example. Trade and Professional Organizations: These organizations fall under the 501(c)(6) category and primarily work to advance the interests of their business members. They are primarily funded through membership dues and aim to promote the business interests of their members. Common examples include chambers of commerce and real estate boards. Choosing the right type of nonprofit organization depends on your specific goals, mission, and activities. Each type serves a different purpose and operates within its unique regulatory framework.

A: Each state has specific rules for registration, registered agents, annual reporting, and other requirements when it comes to nonprofit organizations. Incofile will assist you in determining the specific compliance requirements for your state as part of the nonprofit formation process.

A: The filing fees for nonprofit organizations can vary from state to state. You can use our free filing fees chart to easily compare the fees for different states before starting your nonprofit.
