There are many pitfalls in the process of establishing or starting a non-profit organization. Good legal counsel is absolutely essential for a successful tax-exempt entity. This requires a lawyer who has received detailed information from the proposed non-profit organization, along with detailed information regarding the entity’s purpose and organization. There are restrictions on the activities of tax-exempt organizations that, if violated, can lead to the revocation of the tax-exempt status.
