Non-Profit and Tax-Exempt Organizations

Non-Profit, Charitable and Religious organizations play a significant role in improving the lives of the local and statewide communities they serve.  Successfully managing charitable assets while effectively implementing the mission, vision and objectives of a nonprofit corporation requires a sophisticated knowledge of a multitude of legal disciplines, including business law, employment law and federal tax law.

Poole & Shaffery LLP provides a full range of services needed by nonprofit organizations to achieve the goals of their mission statement and to maintain stability in their day-to-day operations.  Since members of nonprofit organizations are commonly faced with a broad range of legal and financial issues, we routinely counsel board members and executives of nonprofits on all aspects of managing and growing their program including bylaws revisions and governance issues, commercial contract review, directors and officers liability issues, employee hiring and termination, charitable trust formation and maintenance of the organization’s non-profit tax-exempt status. 

Poole & Shaffery attorneys also have years of experience counseling non-profit organizations in a variety of land use issues, including the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA).

Whether your tax-exempt organization is comprised of a charitable foundation, church, school, alumni association, health care charity, economic development organization, law enforcement society or trade association, we offer legal services tailored to your unique needs.
