Building and Sustaining a Successful Non-Profit: Legal and Operational Insights
Join us for an informative session focused on the unique challenges and opportunities facing non-profit organizations. For our final seminar of the series, two experienced Poyner Spruill attorneys will provide practical guidance on forming, managing, and maintaining compliance for non-profit entities of all sizes.
We’ll explore key topics such as entity formation and tax-exempt status, board governance and fiduciary duties, fundraising regulations, and risk management. The presentation will also cover the differences between public charities and private foundations, the unrelated business income tax (UBIT), and how non-profits can avoid UBIT liability—including through the formation of for-profit subsidiaries.
In addition, the session will highlight common legal pitfalls, best practices for transparency, and strategies for long-term sustainability.
Whether you’re starting a new non-profit, serving on a board, or supporting an established organization, this session will offer valuable insights and actionable takeaways to help your mission thrive.
