NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Nonprofit organizations, otherwise known as 501(c)(3) organizations, have unique requirements under California law and U.S. tax law.  Many people organize a nonprofit organization in order to provide services or products for an altruistic reason.  Unfortunately, many do not understand the challenges of organizing and complying with the various nonprofit laws and regulations.  As a non-profit, your core capabilities and time should not be burdened by making sure your organization can maintain its nonprofit status.  As a tax and business law firm The Stevenson Law Group is uniquely qualified to provide both the tax and corporate advice necessary to ensure the goals of the nonprofit are met.

When engaging The Stevenson Law Group we will provide you with consultation on best practices; how to minimize liability; and encourage broader board involvement.
