088: REFRESH Nonprofit Basics: Overview of Nonprofit Charitable Organization Types: Corporation, LLC, Trust, Association, and Fiscal Sponsorship
Manage episode 430113340 series 3558227
Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. For the next few weeks, we refresh several of the show's earliest episodes. During these dog days of summer, it’s a good time to bring back some of our early episodes that cover fundamental topics that nonprofit leaders and aspiring leaders need to understand. In this week's refresh of my very first episode, I provide an overview of the choices of legal form for nonprofit organizations that are intended to be tax-exempt under U.S. law. Before we even get to the questions of tax exemption, charitable fundraising, regulatory compliance, governance, and the myriad legal issues that charity and foundation leaders need to think about, a basic understanding of the legal entity is really important.
Since this first episode, we've added the podcast to our YouTube channel, so listeners might want to look over the playlist on our channel that covers all the basics and also our broad coverage of the formation mechanics in 32 states.
