A 501(c) organization and a 501(c)3 organization are similar in designation, however they differ slightly in their tax benefits. Both types of organization are exempt from federal income tax, however a 501(c)3 may allow its donors to write off donations whereas a 501(c) does not.

As per the internal revenue code, 501(c)3 is a nonprofit organization for religious, charitable, scientific, and educational purposes. Donations to 501(c)3 are tax-deductible. Whereas on the other hand, 501(c)4 is a social welfare group, and donations to 501(c)4 are not tax-deductible.

Yes, you can use Donorbox to raise funds even if you are not a nonprofit organization. Many for-profit businesses, big and small, have raised donations for charitable causes or research projects. You can even register as an individual for your personal causes.
