LOW BONO HELP
Please note that our programs have limited availability and there may be a wait list.
Creating a nonprofit corporation requires more than just filing paperwork with the state. In addition to the many legal and regulatory challenges, nonprofit founders are also developing programs and creating fundraising strategies. Organizations that are advancing social change and social justice are eligible for our low bono Nonprofit Start-Up package, which includes guidance through the nonprofit incorporation and tax exemption process.
DISSOLVING & WINDING UP
Nothing lasts forever, and unfortunately, nonprofits do close down. This process is called dissolution and winding up of the organizations and involves a complex mix of state and Federal filing requirements. In most cases, the nonprofit must file for and receive clearances from state taxing bodies and, in some cases, the state attorney general. We help manage this process for the Board of Directors by creating a Plan of Dissolution and managing all of the filing requirements.
