Nonprofit Law
What is Nonprofit Law?
At Skufca Law we are committed to supporting and empowering nonprofit organizations as they strive to make a positive impact in our communities. Our dedicated team of attorneys provides comprehensive legal services to assist nonprofits in navigating the complex legal landscape of regulations and compliance.
Our nonprofit practice area offers a wide range of services tailored to the unique needs of nonprofit organizations.
These services include:
Entity Formation
We guide clients through the process of establishing a nonprofit entity by filing the articles of incorporation, drafting and adopting bylaws, and obtaining an employment identification number (EIN). We provide counsel on governance structures, board responsibilities, and compliance with federal and state regulations to ensure our clients' organizations are set up for success.
Tax-Exempt Status
We assist nonprofits in obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our experienced attorneys help navigate the intricacies of the application process, including preparing and submitting the necessary documentation to the IRS.
Compliance and Regulatory Matters
Our team helps nonprofits understand and comply with federal, state, and local laws governing nonprofit organizations. We assist in navigating reporting requirements, licensing requirements, fundraising regulations, lobbying restrictions, and other compliance issues. With our guidance, our clients can focus on their missions while ensuring legal compliance and minimizing risks.
Ongoing Business Concerns
We provide ongoing legal support to our nonprofit clients by assisting with other legal matters such as:
- Drafting, negotiating and reviewing contracts;
- Handling employment, independent contractor, and volunteer matters;
- Forming organizational policies and procedures, and ensuring compliance with labor laws; and
