NONPROFIT AND PLANNED GIVING
Our attorneys have extensive experience guiding nonprofits to achieve 501(c)(3) status and to operate in accordance with best practices. Our attorneys also frequently counsel clients on strategies to achieve individual charitable goals with an eye towards tax minimization.
NONPROFIT
Our attorneys take special pride in counseling nonprofit clients as frequently, their missions and goals are ones that we are also passionate about. To that end, we have helped numerous nonprofits obtain 501(c)(3) status. Many of our nonprofit clients come to us seeking guidance regarding corporate governance issues such as Board and officer roles and fiduciary duties. As a result, our attorneys excel in drafting bylaws and other corporate governance documents that set the bar for efficient and effective practices. Furthermore, with a goal towards helping nonprofits achieve independence and self-sustainability, our attorneys have helped clients structure endowments that fulfill their needs and if desired, meet ethical Islamic finance criteria.
PLANNED GIVING
We have experience crafting inventive strategies to achieve individual gifting and tax minimization goals. Though they are not suitable for every client, tools such as charitable trusts and private foundations can be a win-win for both the donor as well as the charity. Our attorneys especially enjoy creating solutions that achieve client goals while benefiting the public at large.
