The Articles of Incorporation are the foundational legal documents that formally established the Bitcoin District Initiative as a nonprofit corporation in Washington, DC. Filed with the District of Columbia, these Articles define our organization’s legal existence, structure, and charitable purpose.
They serve as the starting point for everything we do, outlining:
- The official name of the organization
- Our nonprofit and charitable purpose
- Our eligibility for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3)
- Basic structural elements like the registered office and initial board
Together with our Bylaws, Mission Statement, and IRS 1023-EZ filing, these Articles form the backbone of our governance and compliance as a public charity.
