US non-profit laws United States non-profit laws relate to taxation, the special problems of an organization which does not have profit as its primary motivation, and prevention of charitable fraud. Some non-profit organizations can broadly be described as "charities" — like the American Red Cross. Some are strictly for the private benefit of the members — like country clubs, or condominium associations. Taxation[edit] If an organization is to qualify for tax exempt status, the organization's (a) charter — if a not-for-profit corporation — or (b) trust instrument — if a trust — or (c) articles of association — if an association — must specify that no part of its assets shall benefit any of persons who are members, directors, officers or agents (its principals). Due to differing requirements by the states and the federal government, it is possible to be recognized as a non-profit organization by the state, but not by the federal government.

Nonprofit Org A nonprofit organization (US and UK),[1] or not-for-profit organization (UK and others), often called an NPO or simply a nonprofit and non-commercial organization (Russia and CIS[citation needed]), often called an NCO, is an organization that uses surplus revenues to achieve its goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends.[2] While not-for-profit organizations are permitted to generate surplus revenues, they must be retained by the organization for its self-preservation, expansion, or plans.[3] NPOs have controlling members or boards. Many have paid staff including management, while others employ unpaid volunteers and even executives who work with or without compensation (occasionally nominal).[4] Where there is a token fee, in general, it is used to meet legal requirements for establishing a contract between the executive and the organization. Objectives and Goals[edit] Functions[edit] NPOs have a wide diversity of structures and purposes. Formation and structure[edit]

The Laws of Money and Meaning - Dan Pallotta by Dan Pallotta | 3:00 PM November 13, 2012 It has always been an either/or proposition: Either you go into charity and give up money, or you go into business and give up meaning. It’s mutually exclusive, or so the story goes. Its false tenets go something like this: You make a difference by what you do. The REAL laws of money and meaning go like this:Law #1: You make a difference by who you are being. Law #2: You make a difference now. Law #3: You can make a difference in any and all sectors. Law #4: There is no correlation between personal financial sacrifice and impact. Law #5: You make serious money by pursuing your dreams. Law #6: The for-profit sector is a place where dreams come true and the for-profit sector creates value. Law #7: Nonprofit organizations have a duty to do whatever will fulfill their missions. Law #8: The public does not always know what’s best, and you can dramatically transform what it wants. There, you’re free.
