Why Do I Need A 501(c)(3)?
Section 501(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code states that there are 29 types of nonprofits that can be exempt from federal income taxes. Section 503 sets out the requirements for meeting the exemptions.
A 501c3 organization is a tax-exempt nonprofit and one of the most common types of tax-exempt organizations. Becoming a 501c3 is an essential step to starting a nonprofit organization and seeking grants or tax exemptions. Today, we’ll discuss some of the key benefits of achieving your 501c3 status.
Eligibility For Grants
To apply for a grant on a federal, state, or local level, you are required to represent a 501c3 organization. By having 501c3 status, you will be given a certificate of proof. This certificate allows you to pursue fundraising opportunities that other organizations cannot.
Exemption From Federal Income Tax
One of the biggest reasons why you need 501(c)(3) status is that you receive special tax exemptions. This means that your organization is exempt from federal, state, and property taxes. You may even be exempt from payroll taxes if you have employees. Having this advantage saves your organization money, which is a plus to any nonprofit.
