Launching a nonprofit is exciting - but staying compliant is just as important as your first fundraiser. Nonprofit compliance protects your tax-exempt status and builds trust with donors.


Here are the basics every nonprofit founder should know:


  • Annual filings - Most nonprofits must file a Form 990 with the IRS.

  • State requirements - Charitable solicitation registrations may be required if you’re fundraising.

  • Board governance - Keep meeting minutes, bylaws, and policies up to date.

  • Financial transparency - Track donations carefully and issue donor receipts.

  • Renewals and deadlines - Missing deadlines can cost your nonprofit its status.


Milk & Honey helps founders not only launch but also stay compliant, so you can focus on your mission instead of paperwork.
