Nonprofits

If you are thinking about starting a nonprofit, please read the joint advice from the Office of the Attorney General and DCCA. Click on the article entitled “AG and DCCA Guidance: Think Carefully Before Forming a New Nonprofit Organization” on the Charity Resources Office site.

If you decide to form a new nonprofit, the Attorney General’s Charity Resources Office provides a wide range of guidance for nonprofit organizations. Click here to go to their homepage.

For information on various registrations for nonprofits, the Business Action Center has prepared an FAQ sheet. Please remember that the guidance is for informative purposes only and should not replace professional legal or tax advice.
