Nonprofits 101: How to Start a Charitable Organization as a Veteran
As a veteran, you may want to pursue a path that truly does some good to the world. Why not form a nonprofit organization? Nonprofits include charities, foundations, civic leagues, social clubs, religious and educational organizations, and other businesses that operate for a purpose other than profit. While starting a nonprofit organization is similar to other types of businesses, nonprofits have unique requirements. Here's what to know if you're interested in starting a nonprofit in your state.
Structuring your nonprofit organization
The first step in starting a nonprofit is forming a legal business entity.
- Nonprofit corporations are the most common business structure for nonprofits. Forming a nonprofit corporation is similar to registering other business entities. Founders must file articles of incorporation with the state, draft bylaws, and hold an official meeting.
- Due to the complex requirements of nonprofits, in general, click here for a step-by-step guide in forming a nonprofit in Louisiana. This covers the use of a registered agent, creating bylaws, registering for licenses and permits, and more.
- In some cases, a for-profit business with a social purpose may be a better fit. Any type of business can include social good in their mission, but some, like benefit corporations and low-profit limited liability companies, build social purpose into their business model.
Applying for tax exemption
After registering your nonprofit business entity, you're ready to apply for tax-exempt status with the IRS.
- 501(c)(3) is the most well-known tax-exempt status. Charities and foundations apply for 501(c)(3) status. Other types of nonprofit organizations use different 501(c) designations. However, not all 501(c) organizations may accept tax-deductible donations.
- Applying for 501(c)(3) status is the most complicated part of forming a nonprofit. Organizations with gross receipts under $50,000 may complete a simplified application process.
- Maintaining 501(c)(3) status is a nonprofit organization's top priority. There are six main ways an organization can lose its tax-exempt status, including private benefit, lobbying, political campaign activity, unrelated business income, operating outside its stated exempt purpose, and failing to meet annual reporting requirements.
- Annual reporting requirements include filing an annual report (Form 990) with the IRS and meeting state filing requirements.
- Make sure to explore your VA benefits and how they might figure in taxation.
Managing a nonprofit: Bylaws, boards, and more
For a nonprofit to succeed at its mission, it needs to be organized internally. These are the essential components of nonprofit management.
- The success of a nonprofit relies on its management. Effective nonprofit management starts with developing a strategic plan and clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit's executive director and board of directors.
- It requires more than passion to be a nonprofit board member. As the entity responsible for financial oversight, the board of directors should include members with financial expertise. Screening prospective board members will help you choose the right individuals for the job.
- Committees are another important part of a nonprofit's board structure. Typical board committees include executive, fundraising, finance, and governance committees.
- A nonprofit's governance is determined by its bylaws. While a nonprofit's bylaws are a living document, it's important to write them carefully with consideration for governance structure, control and member provisions, and conflicts of interest.
Starting a nonprofit is a great way to do good after your service. However, running a nonprofit requires more than a mission and a knack for fundraising. By understanding exactly what it takes to launch and run a nonprofit organization before taking the leap, you can build a sustainable nonprofit organization with a lasting impact.
