I'm pursuing starting a nonprofit with a global mission. My future anticipated activities include national, and possibly international, fundraising as well as multinational execution strategies.
My question relates to incorporation law and practices. Are there better states than others to incorporate, given a global mission? I know the majority of these nonprofits are in either the New York City or the Washington, D.C. area. Is this mostly a cultural phenomenon, or are there specific financial and regulatory advantages to these practices? What are the risks, if any, of starting a global nonprofit in Michigan, as opposed to D.C., Virginia, New York, etc.?
The first place I'd start is with Appendix A of this Nolo Press book: "How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation"
From what I read on other websites, there are state-to-state differences in non-profit regulation and costs. Appendix A contains a state-by-state listing of these rules.
