    Will converting your organization from Non profit status to for profit status actually cost you more in taxs than you will gain in access?

    Possibly. But since a non-profit doesn't have stockholders, to whom would the "profit" be paid?

    Most non-profits do not pay income tax - only those that have activities not directly related to their non-profit purpose, and then only if the activity generates more than $1000 in income. For example, it can be an an issue for museums that sell a lot of items from their gift shop. This is called an "unrelated business income tax." But activities using only donated labor (such as if a church youth group that runs a car wash fund raiser), or that involves selling only donated items are exempt from this tax.

    But to the OP's question - obviously converting to a for-profit can trigger income taxes which a non-profit would avoid. But please clarify what you mean by "access."
