Delaware Non-Profit (Exempt) Corporations
Not-for-Profit Corporations (aka “Non-Profit”, “Non-Stock Corporation” or “501(c)3” or "501c3")
- When we use the term “Not-for-Profit Corporation ” we are typically referring to a Chartered Charitable or Religious Organization. A Not-for-Profit Corporation is not “tax-exempt” until it has been granted Tax Exempt status by the IRS after filing form 1023. To be Tax Exempt, the Corporation must meet specific requirements:
- Typically, the Corporation does not authorize or issue shares of stock.
- The Corporation is organized and operated exclusively for Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific or Literary purposes, or for Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International Amateur Sports Competition, or for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals
- No part of the net earnings of a section 501(c)(3) organization may, by practice or custom, benefit a person having a personal and private interest in the activities of the organization, such as the creator of the Corporation or the creator's family.
- The organization is restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. Political Organizations usually file under an exemption other than 501(c)3.
- DBI will draft your Certificate of Incorporation with the appropriate language and file your Certificate of Incorporation in the same manner that a For-Profit Stock Corporation is filed. After the Not-for-Profit Corporation is registered by us, you will then need to apply to the IRS for Tax Exempt Status. For more information about Tax Exempt Status see the IRS publication “Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization”.
