Abstract
Since the subject of non-profit corporations covers such a broad area, this paper will be limited to "Type B corporations" (i.e., the "charitable" type) as described in the new New York Not-For-Profit Corporations Law. These classifications of the new statutory concept (Types A, B, C, D) look to the general purpose of the organization, rather than to a very specific purpose, or to whether or not stock is issued. The New York law further provides for the possibility of any corporation having multiple and overlapping purposes, thus providing a very rational and simple (though debatable as to policy) test to apply for classification purposes.
