Micro Mentor does indeed include assistance to non-profits. I have helped many over the last 7 years here. Most small business government grants go to non-profit organizations because of the nature of the work such entities do. A non-profit organization operates in much the same way that a for-profit company does except that the founder (s) work for a board of directors that pays them a salary and, upon registration with state and federal governments under IRS provision 501 3 (c) or a similar designation, the business pays no taxes. What would normally be considered profit in a for-profit company is re-invested back into a non-profit to further its work. Annual reports are required by the IRS to demonstrate the re-investment and maintain a tax-free status. Non-profit organizations are usually initiated to pursue a religious or socio-economic endeavor serving the public, such as churches, health care, public information, communications, high technology, or similar undertakings. No one owns a non-profit organization. A board of directors, a charter, articles of organization filed with the state and the IRS designation with the federal government establish it as a public entity. In the event it is discontinued, all proceeds and assets are distributed by the government for public use and no one individual benefits. A non-profit charter must include that provision. The following link at NOLO provides the chronological process between a state registration and the IRS in applying for non-profit registration and tax-exempt status: * http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/form-nonprofit-501c3-corporation-30228.html **
