Starting a Nonprofit in Arizona
Arizona is a thriving hub for community based organizations. Our step by step course will help you navigate state and federal filing with confidence.

Arizona nonprofits must file Articles of Incorporation with the Arizona Corporation Commission. The filing fee is $40 for standard processing. Arizona requires a statutory agent (registered agent) located in the state. Charitable organizations may need to file for a state tax exemption and register to solicit donations with the Arizona Secretary of State. After formation, you’ll proceed with your federal tax exempt application.
