Form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Washington as a non-US resident. We handle the state incorporation and the federal tax-exempt status application — no US visit required.
Washington's filing fee is $30 by mail or $50 online. Nonprofits here aren't automatically exempt from state sales tax — you'll need to separately apply to the Department of Revenue for a Nonprofit Sales Tax Exemption if applicable to your organization.
We prepare and file your nonprofit's Articles of Incorporation with the Washington 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 Washington, 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.
