The program, which will focus mainly on 501(c)(3) entities, will explore requirements in the articles of incorporation, bylaws,1023 & 1023EZ applications, and other documentation required for procurement of nonprofit status. It will also cover IRS required restrictions, board of director elections, meeting requirements, fiduciary duties and dissolution, and will provide practical drafting tips.
