Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide

Nuts-and-bolts guidance on the laws, rules, and regulations governing the nonprofit sector―from leading nonprofit law expert, Bruce R.

This easy-to-read resource contains essential information on virtually every legal aspect of starting and operating a nonprofit organization from receiving and maintaining tax-exempt status to tips for successful management practices.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is either on the board of directors or holds a director level position at any type of nonprofit organization. It is easy to read for the most part and provides great questions you should know the answer to about your organization as well as legal answers. There is a more updated version available.
