Georgia law states that a nonprofit corporation's incorporators or board of directors must adopt initial bylaws. While the state doesn't require you to file these bylaws, having them in place is essential to the health and legal standing of your charitable organization.
Nonprofit bylaws (aka bylaws and articles of organization) explain how your organization operates. These rules explain the election process for board members, board meeting guidelines and frequency, compensation disclosures, indemnity clauses, and more. Simply put, it's an operating manual for running your nonprofit.

It is recommended for nonprofits to have three to twenty-five board members depending on the size and purpose of the organization.
