FAQ
Under California law, a nonprofit board may be composed of as few as one director, but the IRS may take issue with granting recognition of 501(c)(3) status to a nonprofit with only one director. It is commonly recommended that nonprofits have between three and 25 directors.
California corporate bylaws are the agreed-upon rules for your corporation's operations. Bylaws create an organizational structure for your company and outline policies for appointing directors and officers, holding shareholder and board meetings, and handling conflicts of interest, among other issues.
The simple answer is that most authors agree that a typical nonprofit board of directors should comprise not less than 8-9 members and not more than 11-14 members.
California requires a minimum of one director, but the IRS will rarely give tax-exempt status to organizations with less than three directors.
FOR NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS The most common types of nonprofit corporations established in California are public benefit corporations, mutual benefit corporations, and religious corporations. Below is a list of local, state, and federal requirements that may apply to these organizations.
California mandates that all nonprofit organizations and corporations establish bylaws as a fundamental part of their formation process.
There's also the fact that if you don't list the number of directors in your Articles of Incorporation, you're legally required to list that information in your bylaws (see California Corp Code § 212). The bottom line: corporate bylaws are not legally required, but they're pretty much essential for your corporation.
