How to open a non-profit organization for homeless people?

Is it legal to refer to your "not intended to make a profit" organization as a "nonprofit" in order to encourage people to donate to it, when your organization has no official I.R.S. tax-exempt status?rs

  • Answer:

    Just so everyone knows, I'm actually opposed to this practice. I'm trying to argue against "calling yourself a nonprofit when you aren't in order to get donations" but I can't find the specific legal code saying this isn't allowed and/or is fraud.
