20. Benefits of becoming non-profit Collect charitable contributions (ranging from bequest of money, to donations of goods and services, to gifts of real estate) that are tax deductible to the giver. More easily qualify for private and public grants and other subsidies.
Produce profits from engaging in nonprofit activities related to the mission of the organizations (including fundraising events) that you do not have to pay taxes on.
Enjoy protection from legal liability (desirable when you are doing issue-sensitive work or performing social services primarily with volunteers).
21. Steps to becoming non-profit
1. Prepare and file Articles of Incorporation
2. Prepare Bylaws
3. Elect directors & board members
4. Complete and submit IRS & California tax forms
