Nonprofit public benefit corporations face a number of ongoing legal responsibilities. It is very important that these legal requirements be satisfied to maintain the corporation's tax-exempt status and to protect the directors and officers from legal liability. This brochure provides guidelines for carrying out these responsibilities.

This brochure answers the questions:

  • How do we maintain our nonprofit’s corporate identity?
  • What reports must management provide to the board of directors, to our members, make available to the public, and file with government agencies?
  • What employee-related laws must we comply with?
  • What licenses must we obtain?
  • How do we maintain our nonprofit’s tax-exempt status?
