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

Connecticut nonprofits file a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State and pay a $50 filing fee. Charitable organizations that raise funds must register with the Department of Consumer Protection Charities Unit. Connecticut requires at least three directors and adherence to state specific bylaws language to qualify for tax exemption.
