New Washington DC Nonprofit Code

Effective 1/1/2012, the completely revised nonprofit corporation act takes effect.  The full code can be viewed at DC Council website then click the “Legislation & Laws” button and then the “View the DC Code” link.  Title 29 Chapter 4 addresses nonprofits.  Several of the more significant changes are as follows:

  • Membership organizations can now elect delegates to elect a board of directors.
  • LLCs can be formed for nonprofit purposes.

Other changes involve record keeping requirements, member’s rights to review organizational records, conflict of interest, and officer positions.

Nonprofits incorporated in the District should review their current organizational documents and practices for compliance with the new code.
