Can a non-profit legally deny membership for any reason or at its sole discretion?

Question

Can a non-profit legally deny membership for any reason or at its sole discretion?



Answer

Non-profits aren't required to have open membership policies. But that doesn't mean they're free to exclude whomever they want for whatever reasons they choose. Different types of non-profits can be subject to different rules. If you're concerned about a specific organization, you may want to discuss its policies with an attorney confidentially.
