Description

This book is the first-of-its-kind overview by a sitting General Counsel that distills the legal needs of a million charitable tax-exempt organizations in the United States.

Ms. Rosenthal discussed what "makes a nonprofit a nonprofit", the laws that apply to tax-exempt organizations because of their special status, and the wide range of business laws that apply to nonprofits as well. Special attention was given to how good governance ties to mission and fundraising, how to protect the organization's name and monetize its original works, and more.
