USGBC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1993 and based in Washington DC. Which statement about its legal status, formation year, and base is correct?

• A. 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1993 and based in Washington DC.
• B. 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1990 and based in New York.
• C. For-profit corporation formed in 1993 and based in Washington DC.
• D. 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 1995 and based in Chicago.

Answer: (A)

USGBC is a nonprofit organization organized under 501(c)()(3) tax-exempt status, meaning it operates for educational and charitable purposes rather than to earn profits. It was formed in 1993 and is based in Washington, DC. That combination—501(c)(3) status, the 1993 formation year, and the Washington, DC base—matches the factual details about the organization. The other statements mix in a wrong tax structure (for-profit), or incorrect founding years or locations, which don’t fit the actual history and status.
