Can nonprofits have 401k plans?
Even many nonprofit entities may choose to offer a 401(k). These nonprofits are also eligible to present their employees with both a 401(k) and a 403(b) retirement plan option. In sum, almost any type of company may offer a 401(k) plan.
Can a 501c3 have a retirement plan?

The 403 (b) plan may also come with fewer investment options to consider. Those are choices that the employer makes.
