Tax-Exempt, Nonprofit Organizations

We advise on the obtaining of tax-exempt status at both the federal and state levels. Once an organization has tax-exempt status, we provide ongoing advice on federal and state reporting and disclosure, governance issues, charitable contribution deductions and unrelated business income tax (UBIT). We also advise tax-exempt organizations in connection with joint ventures with both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
