Non-Profit Corporations

 

IRS Publication 557 501(c)(6)  , in the Organization Reference Chart section 01(c)(6) — Business Leagues, Chambers of Commerce, Real Estate Boards, HOAs, etc.

How can you get information about nonprofits?

The best source of information is usually the organization itself. Many nonprofits have websites that have a great deal of information about their programs and finances.

Most nonprofits also publish an annual report that typically include a statement of the organization’s mission and a summary of its programs, a list of board members and key staff, and financial information.

Another source is the IRS Form 990, an annual information form that most nonprofits must file with the IRS each year. The Form 990 summarizes the organization’s finances, lists the salaries of the highest paid officials, includes the names of board members, and provides a general snapshot of the organizations. Nonprofits are required by law to share their 990 forms with members of the public who ask to see them, and must make the form available during regular business hours or on the Internet. Journalists also can request copies of the 990 from the IRS Exempt Organization center in Ogden, Utah, under the Freedom of Information Act. Nonprofit organizations with annual revenues of less than $25,000 and religious congregations are not required to file.
