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

Arkansas nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State and pay a $50 filing fee. The state requires at least three directors on the board. Charitable organizations that intend to solicit contributions must register with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office. After incorporation, you’ll apply for an EIN and file for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.

    •    Draft and file your state’s Articles of Incorporation correctly
