| Non-Profit Corporations |
|
A non-profit corporation (NPO) is one that is legally formed to participate in activities of public or private interest with no monetary or commercial gain. Though an NPO generally does not operate to make a profit, it may collect, hold, and disburse money and other things of value. These corporations typically subsist on donations from the private or public sector and are staffed largely by volunteers. Registering a non-profit corporation in Nevada involves registering with both the Secretary of State, to attain legal non-profit status, and the IRS, to obtain the tax advantages of operating as an NPO. Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code provides for public recognition of tax exempt status, which helps to obtain grants; notice to donors that their contributions will be tax-deductible; and even mailing privileges. Our business lawyers can handle all the incorporation documentation and filing in order to get your non-profit corporation up and running. |
