Non-profit organization charge for advertising
Can a non-profit organization charge a company to advertise their services on the organization's website? Do we need a contract, and tax ID number to do so?

Re: Non-profit organization charge for advertising
Yes, a non-profit can charge for advertising. However, the resulting income may be unrelated business taxable income (UBTI), subject to federal and state income taxes. You don't need a contract - but I would advise you to have one. How have you opened a company bank account without a federal tax identification number? You will need one especially if the advertising income requires that you file a tax return.
