Professional & Business Services

501(c) Services is a 100% employee-owned company servicing the non-profit sector headquartered in San Jose, California. In 1982, 501(c) Services established the first trust in the country to offer a safe way for nonprofits to legally stop paying the state unemployment insurance taxes. By doing so, they can help nonprofit organizations save money. Nonprofits that legally opt out of the state unemployment insurance system use the money saved to reinvest in their mission(s).

In 2023 501(c) Services became employee-owned when it established its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). With more than 40 years of experience working exclusively with nonprofit organizations, 501(c) Services attributes their success to their hands-on, full-service approach, coordinated by a fully staffed in-house team.

501(c) Services now offers a wide range of programs for nonprofits including our 501(c) HR Services, 501(c) Agencies Trust Group Retro Plan for Washington nonprofits, and the Boy Scouts of America Unemployment Plan - to name a few. They currently work with more than 3,000 nonprofits across the globe.
