The 411 on Becoming a 501(c)(3)

Ben McLintock from Arvest Bank will walk participants through the process of getting tax-exempt status for their nonprofit.

This program will provide a general overview of the necessary steps for incorporating a charitable corporation and filing for tax-exempt status, starting with determining the purpose and type of your nonprofit, forming a governing body and drafting necessary documents such as Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, filing paperwork with the State of Arkansas, and finally filing for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS. 

Ben will also discuss ongoing compliance--after your nonprofit has tax-exempt status, steps must be taken to keep it!
