    Becoming a Nonprofit
    To become a nonprofit agency, an organization must register with the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes. This section of the law is commonly referred to as 501(c)(3), which in turn is often synonymous with nonprofit.

    According to the Internal Revenue Service, there were almost 700,000 nonprofits in the United States in 1997. The number is up 64% in just 10 years! For more information on becoming established as a nonprofit charity, please contact the IRS.

    United Way Services encourages you to consider working with one of the numerous agencies throughout Greater Cleveland to achieve a health and human services goal. To begin learning more about agencies throughout the community, you can review First Call For Help's extensive database. Or you can look at a list of our agencies.
