In the case of establishing a non profit organization in New Jersey, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the legal requirements and procedures involved. Fortunately, the New Jersey area has specific strategies to help guide you on the right path. Since you are located in New Jersey, you can benefit from the benefits of the tax-exempt system, limited liability, and the ability to obtain grants and donations. This gives you the opportunity to focus on your organization's mission and have a positive impact on your community.
To establish a nonprofit organization in the state of New Jersey, you must file a certificate of incorporation with the Division of Revenue and Business Services of the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. This document provides essential data about your organization, such as its purpose, structure and management. The purpose of your nonprofit organization must be specified in the Certificate of Incorporation. This goal must comply with the laws of the State of New Jersey and be limited to one or more of the following objectives:
* Charitable
* Religious
* Educational
* Scientific
* Literary
* Public safety testing
* Fostering national or international amateur sports competition
* Preventing cruelty to children or animals
The Articles of Incorporation must include the name of the corporation, which must include the words "corporation," "incorporated," "company," or an abbreviation thereof. Along with the address of the corporation's principal office you must state the purpose or purposes for which the corporation is formed. You must also include the names and addresses of the incorporators and the number of directors that will constitute the initial board of directors, with the duration of the corporation, which may be perpetual or limited to a specific period of time. All non-profit corporations in New Jersey must have a registered agent and office in the state. The registered agent must be an individual resident of New Jersey or a corporation authorized to do business in the state. The registered office must be located at a street address in New Jersey. Once the Articles of Incorporation are completed you will need to pay the filing fee.
A non-profit corporation in New Jersey may be eligible for tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
