Program Description
The Montana Nonprofit Association (MNA) endorses First Nonprofit Companies and their unemployment savings products. Instead of paying the state unemployment tax, 501(c)(3) organizations can elect reimburse the state for validated claims paid to former employees, dollar for dollar. This often translates into savings of as much as 50% of your unemployment costs. First Nonprofit Companies offers programs for nonprofits which are designed to allow the organization to enjoy the reduced costs of reimbursing without exposing their budgets to unnecessary risk. Each program meets the needs of different size organizations with different budgetary goals. If your organization is a 501(c)(3) with at least 7 full-time employees, one of these programs may save you money.
Eligibility
Only 501(c)(3) organizations can elect to become reimbursing organizations. Please see the flyer from the state below about becoming a Reimbursable Entity. This program works best for organizations with 7 or more FTE's.
Enrolled Nonprofits
Currently, seventy (70) nonprofits in the State of Montana are enrolled in the program and enjoying savings and administrative benefits. Collectively, these nonprofits will save more than $350,000 annually. To find out how much your agency can save each year, complete the free cost savings evaluation and return it to First Nonprofit Companies.
