NONPROFIT CORPORATION STATUTE REVISED
NOTICE: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The nonprofit statute has been revised. Corporations are now required to be classified
in one of three categories. For a few corporations, the category is designated by statute.
For most nonprofit corporations, the following tests apply:
1. "Mutual benefit" corporation means a corporation which does not come within the
definition of public benefit or religious corporation.
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. "Religious" corporation means a corporation which is organized primarily or
exclusively for religious purposes.
PLEASE INDICATE ONLY ONE CATEGORY

The purpose or purposes for which the corporation is organized are as follows;
Said organization is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational,
and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to
organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501 (c) (3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code.
No part of the net earnings of the organization shall inure to the benefit of, or be
distributable to its members, trustees, officers, or other private persons, except that
the organization shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation
for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of the
purposes set forth in the purpose clause hereof. No substantial part of the activities
of the organization shall be the carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting
to influence legislation, and the organization shall not participate in, or intervene in
(including the publishing or distribution of statements) any political campaign on
behalf of any candidate for public office. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

distributed to the federal government, or to a state or local government, for the
public purpose. Any such assets not disposed of shall be disposed of by the Court of
Common Pleas of the county in which the principal office of the organization is then
located, exclusively for the purposes or to such organization or organizations, as said
court shall determine, which are organized and operated exclusively for such
purposes.
