Illinois has several old nonprofit and religious organization laws, but most entities find the General Not For Profit Corporations Act easier to use, more comprehensive in governance, clearer in defining agency and management authority, and easier to use statewide than entities registered only in specific counties. If the entity seeks and obtains proper government approvals, the entity may be exempt from federal and state income taxation, and may be exempt from property and sales tax liability, as well. Rather, they are run by boards, trustees, or members for one or more of the purposes allowed under state not for profit laws. The common characteristic of all is that none of these entities have owners. These entities range from hospital systems with over 1,000 employees to high school robotics teams with volunteer staff and limited budgets. As of 2016, there were 22,743 nonprofit organizations in Illinois.
