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

Kentucky nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State and pay an $8 filing fee. You must also file an initial report within 60 days of incorporation. Charitable organizations that solicit donations must register with the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office. Kentucky requires at least three directors, and bylaws should contain IRS compliant language to qualify for 501(c)(3) status.

    •    Draft and file your state’s Articles of Incorporation correctly
    •    Apply for your IRS EIN and 501(c)(3) tax exemption
