Bike Mansfield, an organization that is committed to transforming the town of Mansfield into a bike-friendly community, has recently taken action to become a nonprofit in the state of Connecticut.
Organizations must first incorporate in the state to then become a certified (501) (c) (3) nonprofit organization.
President Amber Pierce said that becoming an incorporated group, one led by a board of directors and managed by a team of elected officers, will help them be recognized by the IRS in the future.
