Can I open a nonprofit but not be tax exempt?

Can I open a nonprofit but not be tax exempt?

Yes. But why would you want to do so?

Comments

Because state law requires an entity wishing to engage in certain activities to be a nonprofit, but federal tax exempt status is not available for the activity. Think needle exchanges, or cannabis dispensaries.
