501c3 - Nonprofit organizations formed exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, educational, fostering amateur sports, or prevention of cruelty to children or animals that are exempt from paying federal taxes.

LLC - A limited liability company (LLC) is a corporate structure where the members (i.e. owners) of the company cannot be held personally liable for the company's debts or liabilities. Limited liability companies are essentially hybrid entities that combine the characteristics of a corporation and a partnership or sole proprietorship. Nonprofit LLC’s can only have pre-approved 501c3 nonprofits as its members if they wish to apply for 501c3 status. Think of it as a group of 501c3 nonprofits trying to accomplish a bigger project and requesting 501c3 status for the bigger collective project.

Revoked – Organizations that do not file for three consecutive years of tax returns automatically lose their tax-exempt status. This means they are responsible for paying federal taxes unless they apply to have their 501c3 status returned.

Grant - Grants are monies disbursed or given by government, corporation, foundation, or trust to 501c3 nonprofit organizations to implement its programs. These funds do not have to be paid back and are oftentimes larger than individual donors allowing nonprofits to have a larger impact on their local community.

Earn more than $50,000 - Gross receipts are the total amount of all cash, materials, and in-kind donations (i.e. the value of services offered to charity at no cost) the organization received from all sources during its annual accounting period, without subtracting any costs or expenses.
