Follow these procedures to establish a charity in New Mexico and get 501(c)(3) status:
The first and most crucial step in establishing your nonprofit company is deciding on a name. Make sure your name meets New Mexico naming regulations and is readily searchable by prospective members and contributors.
1. Follow the naming conventions:
The name you choose for your nonprofit must not indicate that it was formed for a reason other than that stated in your articles of incorporation.
To learn more about naming a New Mexico-based organisation, see the Nonprofit Corporation Act.
2. Does the name exist in New Mexico? Do a name search on the State of New Mexico’s Website to ensure that the name you choose isn’t already used.
3. Is the URL accessible? We propose that you investigate if your company’s name is accessible as a web domain. Even if you don’t intend to create a company website right away, you may wish to purchase the URL to prevent others from doing so.
A registered agent in New Mexico must be designated by your charity.
What exactly is a Registered Agent? A registered agent is a person or corporate organisation that accepts vital legal papers on your behalf. Consider your registered agent to be your company’s point of contact with the state.
Who is eligible to be a Registered Agent? A registered agent must be a New Mexico person or a company, such as a registered agent service, that is permitted to do business in New Mexico. You may choose someone from your organisation, even yourself.
A board of directors is made up of an organization’s directors. This board of directors is in charge of managing the nonprofit’s activities.
Officers are the president, secretary, and other members of a nonprofit who have specific roles and authority.
Your nonprofit in New Mexico MUST have the following organisational structure:
Your organisation must have the following two papers in order to apply for 501(c)(3) status:
What is the definition of a Conflict of Interest Policy? A Conflict of Interest Policy is a set of guidelines put in place to guarantee that any decisions made by the board of directors or officials benefit the organisation rather than individual members.
NOTE: The nonprofit must adopt its bylaws and conflict of interest policy during its first organisational meeting, when the directors and officers are formally selected.
You must submit the Articles of Incorporation with the State of New Mexico to register your nonprofit.
To guarantee that your organisation is qualified to qualify for 501(c)(3) status, you must expressly declare the following in the Articles of Incorporation:
1. Function:
To be eligible for 501(c)(3) status, the organization’s purpose must be expressly confined to one or more of the following:
You must indicate exactly what the organization’s assets will be used for and what will happen to the assets if the organisation is disbanded.
To be qualified for 501(c)(3) status, your organization’s assets must only be utilised for purposes authorised by Section 501(c) (3).
Section 5 of this sample IRS filing offers an illustration of these 501(c)(3) eligibility conditions.
What exactly is an EIN? The Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as the Federal Tax Identification Number (FTIN), is used to identify a commercial organisation, such as your nonprofit company. It is basically your company’s social security number.
Why do I need an EIN? An EIN is necessary for the following activities:
If your application is granted, the IRS will issue you a letter confirming that your organisation is tax-exempt under Section 501(c) (3).
