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

Georgia nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State Corporations Division and pay a $100 filing fee. You must publish a notice of intent to incorporate in a local newspaper. Charitable organizations that solicit donations must register annually with the Georgia Secretary of State Charities Division. Georgia requires at least three directors and adherence to IRS compliant bylaws for tax-exempt status.
