Non-Profit Legal Tips
Interns Alex and Talia created a pamphlet focused on the legalities of starting a non-profit. When starting a non-profit one of the most important things to consider is your name, which must include the words corp, corporation, inc, or incorporation. The name itself also cannot be utilized until the organization is registered with the state. To file for your non-profit in Florida, visit this site, https://dos.myflorida.com/sunbiz/start-business/efile/fl-nonprofit-corporation/. To find out other information you need to file like a registered agent, corporate purpose and effective date, check out the document below! Lastly, once your organization is registered you will have to fill out an annual report and file a IRS 990 Tax Form.
Intern Poster Project
This summer, Alex and Talia interned at BLAAC through UF’s Active Learning Program. At the end of their program they created a poster presentation highlighting what they worked on. The interns helped with events, created a newsletter, applied for grants, and created graphics. However, the culmination of their internship experience was the Envision the Future Event that they planed from start to finish.
