When nonprofit organizations close, their debts and liabilities must be addressed according to state and federal laws.

No, a nonprofit does not have to be a 501(c)(3) organization for gifts to be non-taxable; however, only contributions to 501(c)(3) organizations are tax-deductible for the donor. Donations to other types of nonprofits, such as social welfare organizations (501(c)(4)) or labor unions (501(c)(5)), may not qualify for tax deductions. Therefore, while gifts to a nonprofit can be non-taxable, the tax-deductibility for donors typically requires 501(c)(3) status.
