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

Michigan nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). The filing fee is $20. Charitable organizations that intend to solicit donations must register with the Attorney General’s Charitable Trust Section. Michigan requires at least three directors, annual filings, and IRS-compliant bylaws for 501(c)(3) status.
