Course Overview

Non-profits refer to organizations like public charities, foundations, churches, fraternal groups, and chambers of commerce, which are built to address a social purpose. They encompass a broad range of structures such as non-governmental organizations also called NGOs.

Non-governmental organizations tend to tackle larger causes, often on an international scale. In the U.S. more than 1.5 million non-profits exist, according to the National Centre for Charitable Statistics (NCCS).

Whether or not a cause will find success in raising funds and serving the public good will rely primarily on the decision to become a non-profit or for-profit entity. There is much to consider when deciding to be a non-profit organization, it is not an automatic process. The first consideration you have to make is whether you should be a non-profit at all.

This online CPE course introduces the issues that should be considered before one forms a non-profit entity.  

It presents the advantages, both legal and practical, of selecting a non-profit entity. This online continuing education course also reviews the disadvantages of becoming a tax-exempt non-profit corporation, including prohibitions on private inurement and private benefit and the criteria for 501(c)(3) organizations.  

This IRS-approved CE course introduces for-profit alternatives, business corporations, social purpose corporations, and benefit corporations.  Finally, it introduces non-profit alternatives to a stand-alone non-profit, including operating a branch of another non-profit and fiscal sponsorships.

This Online CPE/CE Tax Webinar will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of a non-profit charitable entity and other alternatives including:

  • Common myths about non-profits
  • Advantages, both legal and practical of non-profit entity selection
  • Legal issues, such as the prohibition on private inurement and private benefit
  • Criteria for 501( c)(3) organizations
  • For-Profit Alternatives
  • Non-Profit Alternatives
