Rules and regulations for 501(c-3)

ScottGem · Mar 11, 2008, 07:07 AM

First, any governmental regulations governing a 501(c)(3) organization would be found under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. You can find them at Internal Revenue Service.

Beyond those rules, there are standards of accounting that any 501(c)(3) organization would have to adhere to for reporting purposes. I'm not sure where to find those, but a search for 501(c)(3) accounting rules should find that info for you.

Finally, most organization create a set of by laws when they are setup. I'm not sure if that is a requirement, but it may be. Those bylaws should specify how meetings are conducted and other factors.

I must say that you don't seem to be that good about following rules either. This post was moved from the Forum Help area, which is clearly marked as NOT the place for asking regular questions, just for questions about how to use this site.

Probably. You would have to check the statutes and perhaps caselaw for whatever jurisdiction (state or country) the club is organized in.

If they are members, probably. Again, depends on where you are.
