Non-profit organizations exist for public benefit and are not designed to make a profit. They can be charitable, educational, political, or religious. Non-profits enjoy several federal and state tax benefits because they do not have shareholders or owners who would receive profits from their operations.
501(c)(3) status is a federal designation reserved for non-profit organizations. Organizations who have 501(c)(3) status will have tax-exempt status and won’t be required to pay federal income tax on contributions received from the public.
A 501(c)(3) status also makes it easier to conduct fundraising, as donors may donate without the added complication of the recipient organization paying taxes on those contributions. This means more funds can provide services to those in need rather than being absorbed by taxes.
To apply for 501(c)(3), the organization must first establish whether they qualify as a non-profit organization. Second, they must file for and receive an IRS determination letter confirming their non-profit status.
