Can a nonprofit have only one member?

A sole member structure is really appealing when an individual or corporation creates a new nonprofit and wants to retain long term control over the nonprofit's mission and activities. By making themselves the sole member, the founder can give themselves the power to appoint or remove board members.

Description

A corporation whose shares are held by a single shareholder or a closely-knit group of shareholders (such as a family) is known as a close corporation. The shares of stock are not traded publicly. Many of these types of corporations are small firms that in the past would have been operated as a sole proprietorship or partner¬ship, but have been incorporated in order to obtain the advantages of limited liability or a tax benefit or both. A disclaimer is a denial or renunciation of liability. A disclaimer may apply to a denial of responsibility for another's claim and/or may be a statement of non-responsibility.
