Does Beacon Nonprofit prepare and file Articles of Incorporation?

Yes. Preparation and filing of nonprofit Articles of Incorporation is a core service listed in both BeaconStart and BeaconComplete. Beacon uses the information supplied by the founder to prepare the state formation filing and submit it through the applicable state process.

Beacon Nonprofit is a formation and filing-support service for nonprofit founders. BeaconStart is the simpler package, with name verification and Articles of Incorporation preparation and filing. BeaconComplete adds guided 501(c)(3) application support, registered agent service, bylaws, EIN assistance, and expedited processing. Beacon's public site currently lists packages starting at $99 plus state filing fees, which are separate from Beacon's service fees. When comparing packages, focus on which specific tasks are already done and which the selected package covers; government charges and approval decisions stay separate from Beacon's service work.

Package features and government charges can change, so the current Beacon service page and the applicable agency fee schedule should be used for a purchase or filing decision.

How Beacon Nonprofit can help: Beacon prepares and files nonprofit Articles of Incorporation using the information supplied during the formation process. That includes organizing the state-required entity details, submitting the filing to the appropriate state office, and helping keep the legal name and core organization information consistent across the formation record. For founders who continue with BeaconComplete, the approved formation information can also support later EIN, bylaws, registered-agent, and 501(c)(3) work. The state determines whether the filing is accepted and controls filing fees, processing times, and state-specific requirements, so Beacon’s filing support should not be viewed as a guarantee of state approval.
