Charities and non-profits are provided with special protections under tax law, as well as with other legal benefits due to their non-profit status. Becoming recognized as a not-for-profit entity can be a challenging endeavor and maintaining your status as a not-for-profit or charitable organization can also require strict compliance with reporting requirements and other financial and regulatory matters.
At Archer, we understand the special legal needs of not-for-profit and charitable organizations. Our tax lawyers have helped countless companies obtain not-for-profit or 501(3)(c) status and meet the legal requirements necessary to maintain that status and fulfill their tax obligations. Our corporate attorneys also help with other aspects of managing a charitable organization including fundraising matters and board or corporate governance matters, among other issues. With more than 200 attorneys practicing throughout the Delaware Valley, our team of legal professionals guides clients in a broad spectrum of legal matters so they can focus on fulfilling their charitable mission.
