Non-Profit

If you are involved in a not-for-profit, charitable venture, then officially gaining "non-profit status" could be very beneficial to your organization, and therefore to your cause. Forming a non-profit organization allows you exemption from income, sales and property tax and allows you to receive donations tax-free. Non-profit organizations (or NPOs) are also eligible for a wider array of public and private grants. In addition, your personal assets become protected against lawsuits.
