PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Nonprofit corporations are required to be classified in one of three categories. For most nonprofit
corporations, the following tests apply:

purposes. These corporations may be tax-exempt under 501(c)(3).
2. "Public benefit" corporation means a corporation which:
(a) is tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or is organized for a public or
charitable purpose;
(b) on dissolution must distribute its assets to an organization organized for public or charitable purpose, to
a religious corporation, to the United States, to a state or to an organization which is tax exempt under
section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
(c) does not come within the definition of religious corporation.
3. "Mutual benefit" corporation means a corporation which is organized to provide benefits for their
members or a small group of people, and does not come within the definition of public benefit or religious
corporation. These corporations are not tax-exempt under 501(c)(3), but may be tax-exempt under some
other section of law.
