Brings nonprofit law down to earth for nonprofit professionals Written by one of the nation's leading authorities on tax-exempt law, this important guide clearly explains, for nonprofit professionals, the complex legal issues involved with forming and operating a nonprofit organization. In plain English, attorney Bruce Hopkins fills readers in on corporate, tax and fund-raising laws and explains their implications and applications in the nonprofit organization.
