A.C. (Inc.)
Explanation:
In the US it is just "Inc." but you do not translate it like that, you leave it as A.C., "Asociación Civil", which in Mexico is a non-profit corporation. If necessary, leave a note to that effect.

Other corporate forms have other designations and they are all part of the corporate name, as is "A.C.".

agree  Juan Jacob: Not sure about Inc., but you know much more than me. (I would say: S.A., Sociedad Anónima). Yes, leave A.C., for sure.

  -> Gracias, Juan, no, nada más indico que las "non-profits" en USA usan "Inc.", o sea que no dice nada, hay que conservar "A.C." a como dé lugar. El uso en uno y otro país no concuerda en absoluto, "Inc." también puede ser mercantil.
agree  Lorenia Rincon: absolutely, leave A.C. and I would include the explanation about it being a non-profit organization
