Unincorporated Associations & 508(c)(1)(a)
Discover the power of the 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit designation. Gavin Mehl is a recognized expert in helping individuals and organizations create Unincorporated Associations that provide tax-exempt status, asset protection, and operational freedom.
What is a 508(c)(1)(a)?
A 508(c)(1)(a) is a section of the Internal Revenue Code that grants automatic tax-exempt status to churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches. Unlike a 501(c)(3), organizations under 508(c)(1)(a) are not required to apply to the IRS for tax-exempt status — it is granted by law.
An Unincorporated Association is a common-law entity that operates without state incorporation, providing members with unique protections and freedoms. When combined with the 508(c)(1)(a) designation, you get a powerful vehicle for charitable, religious, and community organizations that preserves autonomy and privacy.
