Compiled September 2026. State fees change periodically — verify with the Secretary of State before filing.
Filing Fee is the state's base fee to file Articles/Certificate of Incorporation for a nonprofit corporation; some states add small surcharges (recording, convenience, or agent fees) noted in the cell.
Expedited Cost is the optional additional fee for rush processing where a state publishes one for nonprofit filings; "$100-250" means the state does not offer expedited nonprofit filing or does not publish a separate fee.
Processing times are typical business-day ranges reported by state filing offices / formation-service benchmarks and can vary with filing volume and method (online vs. mail).
Federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is separate from state incorporation: IRS Form 1023-EZ costs $275; full Form 1023 costs $600 (flat nationwide, not shown per state above).
