Nonprofits & Annual Tax-Exempt Filing
Every nonprofit has a mission, but it also has important financial responsibilities that help keep the organization active, trusted, and compliant.
Here are key things every nonprofit should know:
🔹 Accurate Record: keeping Nonprofits must track every donation, expense, grant, and program cost. Good records show how funds are used and help maintain transparency.
🔹 Separation of Funds: Money meant for specific programs or projects must be used only for those purposes. This protects the mission and builds donor trust.
🔹 Annual Tax-Exempt Filing: Even though nonprofits don’t pay taxes, they must file an annual information return to keep their tax-exempt status active.
🔹 Financial Accountability: Clear financial reports help the board, donors, and partners understand how the organization is performing.
🔹 Supports Funding Opportunities: Grant providers and donors often review a nonprofit’s financial history, filings, and recordkeeping before offering support. Strong accounting practices increase the chances of getting funded.
In simple terms: Good accounting and timely tax filing help nonprofits stay compliant, attract funding, and continue serving their communities effectively.
