Choice of Entity/Form for Nonprofits—OSB CLE Quick Call
Brought to you in partnership with Webcredenza, a professional education broadcast network
1 General CLE credit
The choice of entity for nonprofit and charitable organizations can be more complex than for profit-making entities. The distinctions between the entities available to nonprofit and charitable organizations can be very fine, but the consequences of the choice are substantial, implicating a range of real-world restrictions on operations, joint ventures, taxes, disclosures, and more. Also, the choice of entity can be dramatically impacted depending on the mission of the nonprofit—educational or cultural, medical and human services, or something else. This program provides you with a practical framework of decision points for choosing the right entity for your client’s nonprofit or charitable mission.
- Framework of entity choices available to nonprofit and charitable entities
- Corporations, private foundations, donor-advised funds, public charities and supporting organizations, and more
- Taxes and real-world restrictions on the activities and investments of each type of entity, including joint ventures with profit-making organizations
- Best choice of entity depending on mission—health care, education, human services, arts, and more
- Practical advice on obtaining tax-exempt status once an entity choice has been made
