Foreign Non-Profit Corporation

PandaTip:  Most states require that corporations, even non-profit ones, complete and submit an annual report that identifies key information about the non-profit, including addresses and personnel.  A “foreign” corporation is one that is created in one state (by filing articles of incorporation), but is doing business in another state.  This form covers the information most frequently needed for these reports, but you should confirm with the Secretary of State’s website for your state.
