Weintraub attorneys regularly assist nonprofit organizations with their unique legal needs, from formation and obtaining tax-exempt status, to counseling them on management roles and responsibilities, fiduciary duties of directors and interested party transactions, proper fundraising techniques, and tax-related matters to maintain federal and state tax compliance.
Our experienced attorneys counsel nonprofits on an array of matters that affect day-to-day operations, such as paid and unpaid directors, contract negotiations, data privacy, and the protection of intellectual property. We work with nonprofits to assist them through complex regulatory, tax, and corporate frameworks, and provide advice on tax exemption and tax planning.
We have also assisted clients in both winding up and merging nonprofit entities. From this experience, our attorneys are familiar with the related considerations of avoiding private inurement, obtaining the proper IRS, state tax authority, and state Attorney General approvals, as well as the practical considerations involved in winding up or merging nonprofits.
Our clients include healthcare organizations, public charities, colleges and universities, social service organizations, and religious organizations. Our attorneys advise corporate foundations, advocacy groups, trade associations, and a number of other nonprofit and tax-exempt entities. Our experience extends from small foundations seeking to establish nonprofit status to large associations that have multiple offices located throughout the state. Our decades of combined experience allow us to provide comprehensive representation for our nonprofit clients to help them accomplish their operational goals and further their missions.
