Hi RayPTO,
The articles of incorporation make up a document stating the particulars of how your parent group will be organized and maintained as a legal nonprofit corporation, including the name of the group, why it has been organized, number of members, and so on.
Most states provide a fill-in-the-blanks form to follow for your articles of incorporation.
Whether your state has a fill-in-the-blanks form or guidelines for you to write your own articles, you must use the specific language required by the state. The state office will give you that information, either on the form or in the guidelines. If you don’t see it, ask for it.
In the meantime, this sample Articles of Incorporation might help:
