Delaware Nonprofit Corporation
fees and filing deadlines

Formed at the state level like any corporation, but with no shareholders. State formation and federal tax exemption are two separate things: forming a nonprofit does not make it tax exempt. Exemption is a separate IRS application.

The deadlines above are the rules. Your actual dates depend on when you form, so the calendar is built from your formation date — free, no account.
