Nonprofit FAQs
Starting something with purpose? Here’s some common questions before you get started.
What’s the benefit of forming a Nonprofit Corp?
Forming a nonprofit helps protect your personal assets, gives your mission legal structure, and sets you up to apply for tax-exempt status (501(c)(3)). It shows donors, partners, and the public that you’re legit.
Who should consider forming a nonprofit?
If your goal is to serve the community — not turn a profit — and you plan to apply for grants or receive donations, a nonprofit is the right structure. It’s perfect for charities, educational groups, youth programs, religious organizations, and more.
How much does it cost to start a nonprofit in CA?
SimpleCorp charges a flat $299 for full nonprofit incorporation. That includes your Articles of Incorporation, Registered Agent service, Statement of Information, and helpful reminders. We also include have our All-In bundle if you want us to handle end-to-end.
Can I get tax-exempt status with this filing?
Forming your nonprofit is the first step. After that, you’ll apply separately with the IRS for 501(c)(3) status. We’ll provide clear guidance to help you get started — and we can refer you to nonprofit tax experts if needed.
What happens after I file?
Once your Articles are filed, you’ll receive official proof of formation. We also help you file your Statement of Information and set up your next steps — like applying for tax-exempt status and opening a nonprofit bank account.
How long does it take to form a Nonprofit Corp?
We typically file your paperwork same-day or next business day after we get your info. The state turnaround time can vary, but we’ll keep you posted every step of the way.

Does a Nonprofit need a Registered Agent?
Yes, all California nonprofits must list a Registered Agent. This is the official contact for legal and government notices. We include it free for the first year, just like we do for LLCs and Corporations.
Do I need a board or bylaws for my nonprofit?
Yes. To stay compliant and apply for tax-exempt status, you’ll need to adopt bylaws and hold an initial board meeting. Don’t worry — we’ll give you templates and guidance to help you check those boxes with confidence.
