Nonprofits must comply with stringent federal and state laws due to their special tax–exempt status; the government′s ultimate threat is revocation of a nonprofit′s tax–exempt status, which usually means the nonprofit′s demise. Written in plain English, not "legalese," Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide, Sixth Edition, provides essential guidance for those interested in starting nonprofits, as well as valuable advice for leaders of established organizations.
Revised and expanded to include updated information on changes in laws, rules, and regulations governing the nonprofit sector
Covers federal tax law, nonprofit, governance, the annual information return (Form 990), charitable giving rules, and current IRS ruling policy
Presents essential, practical legal information in easy–to–understand English
Explains the applications and implications of corporate, tax, and fundraising laws for nonprofits
This easy–to–read resource contains essential information on virtually every legal aspect of starting and operating a nonprofit organization from receiving and maintaining tax–exempt status to tips for successful management practices.
BRUCE R. HOPKINS is the country′s leading authority on tax–exempt organizations and a senior partner with the law firm Polsinelli Shughart. He is the author of more than twenty–eight books, all published by Wiley, including The Law of Tax–Exempt Organizations, Tenth Edition, and the newsletter Bruce R. Hopkins′ Nonprofit Counsel.
