Corporate Information

Do You Want Instructions on How to Check If Your Corporation's Name will be Accepted by the Arizona Corporation Commission?*

Yes
No

How to Check the Proposed Corporate Name*

Note: To check if your desired corporation name is available to to the ACC’s online name checker to see if your desired name will be accepted or rejected. Here’s how to check a prospective corporation name.

1. Go the the Arizona Corporation’s name checker website.

2. In the middle row of data entry fields in the left field titled "Entity Name" enter the exact name you desire for your nonprofit corporation.

3. Click on the text in the orange box at the bottom in the center that says “Name Availability Check.”
The ACC’s database will then tell you if the desired name is available or not available.

Name Reservation Warning: Although the ACC’s database will ask if you want to reserve the name, I don’t recommend that you waste the $45 unless there is a lot of money riding on the name. Before purchasing a name reservation ask yourself this question: Given that the desired name has been available from the beginning of time up to the moment you checked the name, what are the chances somebody will use your desired name before you file your Articles of Organization?

Nonprofit Corporation's Name*

Will the Corporation be a 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Charity?*

Yes
No

Does the corporation intend to become a tax-exempt charitable organization? If you select Yes, we will prepare the seven policies the IRS wants tax-exempt organizations to have. The policies are a Conflicts of Interest Policy, a Whistle Blower Policy, a Document Retention & Destruction Policy, a Gift Acceptance Policy, a Travel & Expense Reimbursement Policy, a Compensation Policy and a Joint Venture Policy.

Exempt Purposes Authorized Under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3)*

The corporation must engage in one or more of the purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3). These purposes are are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals. The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.

What is the Corporation's Initial Charitable Purpose?*

Give a brief statement of the character of affairs the corporation initially intends to conduct. Tell us what is the purpose of the corporation? This statement does not limit the corporation's charitable activities.

Will the Corporation Have Members?*

Yes
No

Members are optional. Most nonprofits do not have members. Check the Yes box if your corporation will have members. If you select this option we will work with the directors to determine criteria for membership and modify the Bylaws accordingly. If our time to modify the Bylaws for your membership criteria exceeds 1 hour will bill the company $245/hour for attorney time in excess of one hour.

Does the Corporation Have an Arizona Address?

Yes
No. The corporation will purchase the KEYTLaw, LLC, address service for $100/year. If you purchase our address service the address of the corporation and its directors in the Articles of Incorporation will be c/o KEYTLaw, LLC, 7373 E. Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite B-165, Scottsdale, AZ 85258. Note: This is not a mail forwarding service. Tell everybody to send mail where you want it to go, not to us. The only purpose of this service is to satisfy Arizona law that requires the corporation to have an address in Arizona.

Arizona law requires the nonprofit corporation have an address in Arizona. The address can be a home address or a business address, but it cannot be a U.S. Post Office box. If the corporation does not have an Arizona address or does not want the address to be on the public records of the Arizona Corporation Commission, select the No radio button to purchase our address service for $100/year.
