A New York Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (Domestic Not For Profit Corp) is a legal document used to make changes to an existing New York not-for-profit corporation. This certificate is filed with the New York Department of State and is used to amend the articles of incorporation of a New York not-for-profit corporation. The types of changes that can be made to the articles of incorporation include adjustments to the corporate name, purpose, powers, duration, and capital structure. The amendment must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the shareholders before it can be filed. Once the amendment is filed, it becomes part of the corporation's official records.
