Types of Private Membership Associations
Faith-Based Organization
There are many different types of faith-based organizations (FBO):
- Private Education Associations (PEA)
- Private Farm Association (PFA)
- Private Health Associations (PHA)
- Private Membership Associations (PMA)
- Private Social Clubs (PSC)
FBOs focus on one singular mission.
Faith-Based Ministry
A Faith-Based Ministry (FBM) is ideal for entrepreneurs that would like to have the most freedom and flexibility. With an FBM, your ministry can encompass a wide variety of projects or "sub-ministries" and offer a many different types of services for its members ranging from:
- education
- natural and raw foods
- alternative therapies
- counseling
- and more!
Unincorporated Church
An Unincorporated Free Church is a 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit association. Every church can and should be established as a 508(c)(1)(a) instead of a 501(c)3. Churches that are established as a PMA have a mandatory exemption from filing or reporting to the IRS or petitioning non-profit status because they are already automatically tax exempt.
