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

Delaware nonprofits file a Certificate of Incorporation with the Division of Corporations. The minimum filing fee is $89. While Delaware is known for being business friendly, charitable organizations must still register with the Delaware Department of Justice if soliciting contributions. Delaware has no minimum number of directors, but the IRS requires at least three for 501(c)(3) purposes.
