Nonprofits merge to better achieve organizational goals and increase their impact. In some cases, however, it makes more sense to create a joint venture, a partnership, or a reorganization. Our team can talk you through what makes the most sense for your nonprofit!

How a Nonprofit Merger Works
There are four basic steps to nonprofit mergers. During your consult with our nonprofit legal team, we'll discuss the terms and possible timeline for your specific situation. Some mergers are more straightforward than others.
Letter of Intent
This document establishes the intent of the merging nonprofits and often acknowledges key points of negotiation.
Due Diligence
Due diligence protects the merging nonprofits and ensures that the mission remains at the forefront throughout the entire process.
Merger Agreement and Negotiation
After due diligence is complete, your nonprofit attorney will draft your Merger Agreement and negotiation begins.
Articles of Merger
Once the nonprofits reach an agreement, new articles are filed with the Secretary of State as a final step.
1.
Will you serve a "charitable class"?
A charitable class is a group of people (or another defined group, i.e. endangered animals) that the IRS considers eligible to receive services and is large enough that aiding them provides benefit for the larger community.
2.
Do you have a charitable "program"?
You need to have a definite way of providing help to your target group. What type of services will you provide and how will you provide them?
What kind of organization is your nonprofit startup?
Public Charity
The majority of 501c3 organizations fall into this category including humane societies, social services, youth programs, and more!
Religious Organization
This category includes churches and other religious organizations that have religious history, regular congregations, and a recognized creed.
Private Foundation
These organizations are typically funded by a single or a small pool of individuals and include corporate foundations, family foundations, and more.
Social Welfare Groups
501c4 Social welfare organizations are nonprofits that are more politically active through things like lobbying for certain candidates or public policies.
Business leagues, Social Clubs, and other
Organizations in this category are tax-exempt, but are not 501c3 or 501c4 organizations. They range from 501c5 (labor and agriculture organizations) to 501c13 cemetery organizations. We can still assist most tax-exempt organizations in their setup, regardless of if they are 501c3 organizations or not.
