§ 315.44 — Ymca, Ywca; Formation, Certificate

Plain-Language Summary

Three or more people can form a YMCA or YWCA corporation by signing a certificate that includes the incorporators' names, the corporation's name and location, its purpose, the number of directors, and membership rules. The certificate must be recorded with the county recorder.

Practical Notes
The corporation must have at least five directors. The certificate must clearly state how and when directors are elected and when annual meetings are held. This provides YMCA and YWCA organizations with a specific incorporation framework under Minnesota law.
