Nonprofit Startup
Nonprofit Solutions has helped hundreds of individuals realize their goals of creating a charitable organization while avoiding costly mistakes during the initial setup of the organization. From incorporation to initial board meetings to IRS filings, we ensure compliance with all local and federal requirements necessary to receive and retain your tax-exempt status.
Tax Exemptions
Nonprofit organizations may be exempt from various taxes at the federal, state, and county level, but only if they file the correct paperwork to obtain tax-exempt status and complete the necessary filings to retain that status each year. Nonprofit Solutions can help organizations understand what tax-exempt filings are necessary and ensure they are filed correctly.
Nonprofit Policies
Policies are the most important thing a charitable organization can do to mitigate risk and encourage efficient and effective management of the organization. We provide organizations with bylaws, conflict of interest policies, board agreements, governance policies, financial policies, volunteer policies, and personnel policies.
Training
Nonprofit Solutions offers comprehensive board trainings to address legal responsibilities of board members and governance of the organization. We also offer trainings on financial oversight, succession planning, use of committees, and private foundation legal requirements. Let us help your organization increase productivity and reduce risk through an informed board and staff.
Compliance
Nonprofit organizations must comply with federal, state, and local regulations for charitable organizations to retain their tax-exempt status and reduce risk to the organization. Nonprofit Solutions offers general legal counsel plus specialized support for reinstatements of tax-exempt status, tax abatements related to incorrect filings or penalties, and legal steps necessary when an organization discovers embezzlement has occurred.
Mergers
Nonprofit Solutions can aid organizations through the transition of a merger between entities by providing legal and structural support through the proper filings, implementation of new policies, or trainings.
Dissolutions
If an organization has found a dissolution is the best course of action, Nonprofit Solutions can walk them through the proper steps to ensure a smooth transition and maintain a dissolution file on behalf of the organization for a period of seven years.
Contracts
From contracted services to insurance policies for events, there are many contracts that a nonprofit organization may need to sign or have others sign. Nonprofit Solutions can create contracts and review contracts from outside entities, including federal and state grant contracts.
