We have a 501(c)3 corporation and the board wants to change the name. What are the requirements and costs

I have never done it. To change the name, go to www.sos.ca.gov/forms and fill out and file the form for amending the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation. Then you will need to fill out similar forms to notify the California Attorney General, the California Franchise Tax Board, and the IRS. I expect that each will want a copy of the Amendment to Articles of Incorporation stamped by the Secretary of State's office to show it has been accepted. I also expect that each of those agency has its own name-change or amendment form which you can get off their websites. Good luck. Dana Sack 510-286-2200
