    What's At Stake

    Proactive legal review can help identify issues before they become costly problems. Failing to meet state and federal requirements can jeopardize your tax-exempt status and expose board members to liability.

    Loss of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status due to improper filings
    IRS penalties for excessive executive compensation
    State fines for unregistered charitable solicitations
    Board member liability from poor corporate governance
    Loss of grant funding due to compliance failures
