I just want to know if FIRST is a nonprofit corporation? Simple question.
yes
from the bottom of the front page of their website:
FIRST IS A 501 (C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
just remeber
there are different flavors of non-profit corporations
some are set up so that that any new inventions ect can be marketed and transferred to another (sister) corp and not have any tax libility repercussion
there are about a dozen diff ways a non profit can be set up with in the state and national structure
