NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

We have counseled many different types of nonprofit organizations, including charitable, educational, social service and religious organizations, on a wide range of governance issues. Our attorneys have extensive experience in qualifying newly-formed nonprofit organizations as tax-exempt entities and advising established nonprofit organizations on maintaining their tax-exempt status. We have assisted both public charities and private foundations with the following issues:

                      Connecticut property tax exemptions;
                      Compliance with state regulations;
                      Federal tax-exempt status;
                      Formation of legal entities such as corporations, limited liability
                      companies and partnerships;
                      General corporate governance; and
                      Liability protection for directors and officers.

Our firm understands the unique issues affecting nonprofit organizations. We often counsel donors about the many ways they can benefit their favorite nonprofit organizations.

In addition to practicing in the areas of nonprofit organizations law, our attorneys actively serve as directors and trustees of numerous Connecticut charitable, educational, social service and religious organizations.
