Public Charity Compliance

Public charities must comply with a host of requirements, most of which arise from IRS oversight. If we assist your organization with its incorporation and exemption, you will be informed of the then-current items with which you will need to comply. However, if your organization has been operating for some time, or has recently undertaken a leadership transition, it may be time to ask the following questions: (1) is my organization meeting the requirements of its exemption (such as satisfying a public support test or maintaining supporting organization status)? (2) is the organization identifying and avoiding private benefit and inurement? (3) If not, has it complied with the intermediate sanctions requirements? (4) It my organization avoiding the generation of excessive unrelated business taxable income? and (5) Is it complying with various disclosure and reporting requirements? Ice Miller can assist with all of these compliance issues and the many others not listed here, both in resolving any problems created by falling out of compliance and establishing a plan to ensure continued compliance in the future.
