records book to store important documents concerning your nonprofit corporation.

Allen616 commented 7 years ago

Your filed articles of incorporation are the first document for your nonprofit corporate records. Office supplies intended for nonprofit corporations help you stay organized and save time: optionally, get a company record book, seal, and templates.

Create bylaws (potentially using a template), which is the governing document for the nonprofit. This document defines how the corporation will run itself. You do not have to file them with the state; keep them in your company records. Hold the first meeting of the board of directors. At this meeting, the nonprofit should approve the bylaws, elect additional directors, appoint officers, and approve initial resolutions such as opening a company bank account. Keep minutes of this meeting.
