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

Minnesota nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State and pay a $70 filing fee online.

Minnesota requires at least three directors, annual renewals, and adherence to both state and federal governance standards.
