For one, only an employer can set up a 403(b) plan, which it then offers to its workers. An IRA is set up by an individual for their own use.
How do I start a 403(b)? 403(b) plans are sponsored by your employer. Enroll with your selected 403(b) vendor, then complete your employer's salary reduction agreement to start contributing to your account. Your contributions may be either pre- or post-tax, depending on what's available to you and what you choose.
Though 401(k)s are primarily offered by larger for-profit companies, many nonprofit entities also offer 401(k) plans to their employees. In fact, many nonprofit organizations may choose to offer both a 401(k) and a 403(b).
Popular choices include 403(b) plans, similar to 401(k) plans but tailored for nonprofit organizations, and 401(a) plans, which offer higher contribution limits. Additionally, SIMPLE IRAs and SEP IRAs cater to smaller nonprofits with simpler administrative requirements.

Generally, a plan may require an employee to be at least 21 years old and to have a year of service with the company before the employee can participate in a plan. However, plans may allow employees to begin participation before reaching age 21 or completing one year of service.
403(b) 403(b) plans are similar to 401(k)s in the respect that they are both qualified tax-advantaged retirement vehicles offered by employers. However, 403(b) plans differ in that they are only available to certain government employees (schools and hospitals) and non-profit organizations.
Many people have a misconception that nonprofits don't provide their employees benefits and instead rely on volunteers. This isn't the case for many nonprofits. Nonprofit employers offer benefits to their employees much like any business would.
