Nonprofit FAQs

Honest answers to the most common nonprofit questions.

No. Forming the nonprofit corporation is usually the first step. Federal tax-exempt status generally requires a separate IRS application, such as Form 1023 or 1023-EZ, plus other registrations depending on your state.

SimpleCorp services start at $99 flat, plus your state's filing fee. No surprise fees and no hidden markups. Additional nonprofit-related steps like IRS exemption filings or charity registrations are separate services unless specifically included.

Most nonprofits should have bylaws, organizational minutes, board resolutions, and a conflict-of-interest policy. These help create a proper governance foundation and are often important for banking and tax-exempt applications.

Yes. Like other formal business entities, nonprofits typically need a Registered Agent to receive legal and government notices. We include Registered Agent service free for your first year.

Basic is a good fit if you mainly want the nonprofit entity formed. Complete is better if you want stronger governance documents, cleaner internal setup, and more support from the beginning.
