Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt organizations face complications not encountered in the "for-profit" business world. Russell Krafft & Gruber, LLP understands the distinctive needs of our nonprofit clients and helps them protect their tax-exempt status while fulfilling their noble goals.

Nonprofit organizations are formed for various charitable reasons, such as relieving poverty, advancing religion, educating the public, contributing to science, lessening the burdens of government, fighting discrimination and combating the deterioration of the community. However, many non-charitable nonprofit organizations such as civic associations, homeowners associations, labor unions, farmer co-ops, business leagues, chambers of commerce, real estate boards, fraternities, country clubs, credit unions and veterans organizations, are hard at work promoting their worthy goals as well.

We have represented many private and public charities, as well as non-charitable tax-exempt organizations, from planning from their formations through their termination. By analyzing their day-to-day operations, we have assisted them overcome the hurdles that might threaten their tax-exempt status and helped them protect the personal liability of their Board of Directors and Officers.

We have drafted conflict of interest policies and helped nonprofit organizations determine "reasonable compensations" for their employees from the perspective of the Internal Revenue Code. Further, we have guided them through transactions involving unrelated business income and joint ventures with "for profit" businesses.

Whether you are planning on forming a small, private foundation, or whether you are on the board of a large, national nonprofit organization, we have developed the experience to assist you at any stage.

Russell, Krafft & Gruber, LLP is a proud member of the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
