Practical resources on the rules nonprofits operate under. Governance and fiduciary duties. Tax-exempt status and public-support tests. Lobbying and advocacy rules. Employment and volunteer compliance. Fiscal sponsorship. Written for executive directors, board members, and senior leadership who want to understand the frameworks shaping their work.
Nonprofit Board Fiduciary Duties: A legal guide for directors in MA, NY, CT & DC
