Form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Massachusetts as a non-US resident. We handle the state incorporation and the federal tax-exempt status application — no US visit required.
Massachusetts has one of the more involved charitable registration systems in the country — an initial $100 fee, plus an additional $50 to $2,000 depending on your organization's gross support and revenue in subsequent years. Budget for this separately from the incorporation filing itself.
We prepare and file your nonprofit's Articles of Incorporation with the Massachusetts Secretary of State, naming your registered agent and initial board of directors.
Every nonprofit needs a federal Employer Identification Number — required before you can open a bank account or apply for tax-exempt status. Free from the IRS, no Social Security Number needed.
Incorporating with the state does not make you tax-exempt — that's a separate federal step. Most new nonprofits qualify for the streamlined Form 1023-EZ ($275); larger organizations file the full Form 1023 ($600).
Many states, including Massachusetts, require a separate charitable solicitation registration before you can legally accept donations. We handle this alongside your incorporation.
State incorporation, EIN, and federal tax-exempt status — handled for you.
