Form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Virginia as a non-US resident. We handle the state incorporation and the federal tax-exempt status application — no US visit required.
Virginia is one of several states where the corporate filing fee scales with your number of authorized shares/members rather than being a single flat fee — worth confirming your exact fee before filing. Standard process otherwise: Articles of Incorporation with the State Corporation Commission, followed by federal 501(c)(3) recognition.
We prepare and file your nonprofit's Articles of Incorporation with the Virginia 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 Virginia, 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.
