Non-Profit Corporations Committee

Among this committee's recent projects is the sponsorship, on the WSBA website, of How to Form and Maintain a Nonprofit Corporation in Washington State. Drafted by diverse authors,  this work provides perspectives on the decision to form a new nonprofit corporation. It guides the reader through the planning stages, setting up the corporate structure and applying for tax-exempt status with the IRS. The book also covers topics central to maintaining the nonprofit organization and its tax-exempt status, including corporate record keeping, reporting obligations, fundraising, employment issues, financial issues, and the duties and obligations of officers. 

This is an excellent guide for anyone—lay or professional—who is considering forming a new nonprofit organization. Exhibits in the book offer sample articles of incorporation and bylaws, a valuable checklist for forming a nonprofit corporation, a list of IRS form letters with interpretation, and profiles of typical exempt organizations. Questions or suggestions may be director to LaVerne Woods, Committee Chair.
