Not-for-profit Formation and Counseling
Our attorneys work with individuals who have a vision for an activity in the charitable, educational, or religious worlds to provide the structure needed to convert their vision into reality. We assist with the formation of not-for-profit corporations and the obtaining of tax exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code. We also advise on various issues such as compensation, conflict of interest, corporate governance, unrelated business income, and prohibitions/limitations on political campaign and lobbying activities, among others.
Our services include the following:
- Articles of incorporation for all 50 states
- By-laws
- Initial organizing resolutions
- Applications for recognition of exempt status on form 1023
- Annual reports on forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF.
