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

Florida nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) and pay a $35 filing fee plus a $35 registered agent fee. Charitable organizations that solicit donations must register annually with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Florida requires at least three directors on your board and annual reports to remain in good standing.

    •    Draft and file your state’s Articles of Incorporation correctly
    •    Apply for your IRS EIN and 501(c)(3) tax exemption
    •    Build a legally compliant board structure
    •    Complete your charitable registration
    •    Develop bylaws, policies, and launch strategies tailored to your mission
