The Franklin Farmers' Market in Franklin, TN is a Tennessee Non-Profit Corporation. Since I'm on the board, I should be more knowledgeable about how and why we got our non-profit status, but I'm not. Someone else on the board and our lawyer dealt with the IRS, so I'm limited on what I can tell you. In our Charter, it says our purpose is: "to better conditions of those engaged in agriculture and horticulture by providing a venue of marketing & promoting agricultural interest by providing home grown products to the local consumer." As to why we did this, I believe the primary reason was to enable fundraising. If you would like more details, I could check with the president of our board.
