Book description
Nuts-and-bolts guidance on the laws, rules, and regulations governing
the nonprofit sector-from leading nonprofit law expert, Bruce R. Hopkins
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.
