Non Profit Organization Law

Non Profit Organizations  - Charitable organizations in North Carolina are regulated by a complex myriad of laws. There are restrictions on charitable solicitation, unrelated business income, maintaining tax exempt status not to mention the increasingly difficult application for exempt status IRS form 1023.  In addition, you are subject to all the same employment laws as for profit businesses (without the profit).  Every tax exempt organization should have the assistance of a qualified attorney.
