Start a 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Nonprofit

Starting a new nonprofit organization, and then obtaining tax exemption, can be an overwhelming, and complicated process. FPLG’s nonprofit attorneys have assisted hundreds of nonprofit founders to navigate the process, including filing articles of incorporation, adopting bylaws, and then completing the Form 1023, 1023EZ or 1024 Application for Tax-Exempt Status with ease, ensuring they obtain exemption under 501(c)(3) or other designations.

Outside General Counsel

FPLG’s nonprofit attorneys serve as Outside General Counsel for a variety of organizations, including public charities, private foundations, schools, churches, trade groups, healthcare organizations and political action committees. As a nonprofit organization matures, they often require legal guidance in areas of governance, fundraising, contract negotiation and drafting, employment and compensation matters, tax compliance, regulatory guidance, drafting of policies, and corporate and charity compliance filings. FPLG has the expertise to assist.

Nonprofit Compliance

Once a nonprofit organization has obtained tax-exempt status, the organization’s directors, officers, and employees must continuously ensure that the organization meets its ongoing compliance responsibilities and remains organized and operated for tax-exempt purposes. FPLG assists nonprofit officers to remain compliant by assisting them prepare their informational tax returns and compliance filings, but also in identifying potential pitfalls including private benefit or inurement, unrelated business income tax, or political campaign activity.
