Florida Rules For Nonprofits
The state has many regulations that all nonprofits must follow if they wish to operate successfully. Some of the most important rules for Florida nonprofits include but are not limited to:
- Appointing at least three directors on a board
- Naming a registered agent
- Having an officer to handle the minutes of board meetings
- Filing Articles of incorporation with the state
- Adopting initial bylaws
These steps might seem overwhelming, but you do not have to tackle them alone. You can work with a lawyer at our firm who will explain what to do and handle everything they can so you can focus on your nonprofit’s mission.
