Tax-Exempt Organizations
One-stop-shop for empowering philanthropy and enabling social impact

Our Tax-Exempt Organizations team advises all types of non-profit organizations, as well as for-profits and individuals engaged in philanthropy. For non-profit clients such as colleges, universities, research organizations, foundations, and international charities, we help obtain and maintain tax-exempt status, structure giving programs and fundraising efforts, and advise on governance matters and the many tax rules applicable to tax-exempt organizations.
We also advise for-profit companies on their charitable and social impact efforts, including establishing non-profit entities and corporate foundations, assisting with grant-making and employee gift matching programs, and structuring joint efforts between for-profit and non-profit organizations.
In addition to these matters, we collaborate with other practices in our firm to advise tax-exempt organizations on any issues they may face, including those involving private funds, real estate, intellectual property, executive compensation, M&A, and litigation. The lawyers on our team have worked in-house at foundations and accounting firms and have trusts and estates experience, bringing a unique perspective to each engagement.
