What is a 501c organization
Nonprofit corporations are often referred to as 501(c) organizations, because section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code is what grants nonprofit corporations their tax-free status. Most states allow for the creation of such nonprofit corporations, which allow charities and similar entities to receive tax-exempt status with state tax agencies and the IRS. Specifically, to qualify for nonprofit corporate status the purpose of the business must be charitable, religious, literary, scientific or educational.
You should understand that while an investor can take his or her money back from a for-profit corporation, any investment made into a nonprofit corporation is irrevocable - it's a donation that you cannot get back. In fact, when a nonprofit corporation is dissolved (i.e., shut down), any leftover assets do not go to its owners, but must generally be given to another nonprofit corporation.
