Welcome to the course!
There are fundamental differences between a for-profit business and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax-exempt organization. A few very prominent differences are ownership, transparency, and IRS regulations. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit is unique because it is not an entity that can be “owned.” It is exempt from tax on income generating activities that further its mission, and its donors can generally write off charitable contributions.
The 501(c)(3) nonprofit is established to further social good and not to enrich its founders, governing body, or other stakeholders. To ensure the sanctity of the organization remains Charitable, the IRS has established regulations for all 501(c)(3). And, the IRS will impose sanctions up to and including terminating the tax-exempt status of 501(c)(3) organizations that violate these regulations.
If you’d like to learn about some of the regulations that the IRS imposes on 501(c)(3), then you are in the right place!
