Almost all nonprofits are corporations, but all corporations are not nonprofits. The term corporation is a business and legal status that offers liability protection to the owners or shareholders, regardless of tax status. In the case of nonprofits the Board of Directors fulfill that role and receive that protection. Nonprofit corporations that wish to accept donations must additionally receive IRS tax exempt status and follow whatever requirements of the state and municipality in which they are located.
There is an option to become an unincorporated association or trust but that option is rarely selected.
