Nonprofit Corporation

Mission-driven corporation: Delaware exempts most from franchise tax but still requires the annual report.

In detail

State nonprofit status and federal 501(c) exemption are separate applications.

Delaware nonprofits file the annual report with a small fee, no franchise tax.

Unrelated business income stays taxable even for exempt orgs.
