Charities & Non-Profit Organizations

Forming and operating a nonprofit requires navigating a distinct set of legal, tax, and regulatory responsibilities. We help charitable organizations, foundations, and other nonprofit entities establish sound legal structures, secure tax-exempt status, and remain in good standing with federal and state authorities. Our attorneys guide clients through entity formation, IRS applications (Forms 1023 and 1024), and Colorado nonprofit compliance, including board governance, charitable solicitation reporting, and annual filings.

We also advise on day-to-day operations, including contracts, internal policies, and donor-related issues, and offer registered agent services to help organizations stay current with state requirements. For nonprofits involved in more complex endeavors—such as real estate ownership or strategic partnerships—we draw on the firm’s experience in syndication, real estate, and business transactions to ensure full-spectrum support.

Clientele

We advise founders, board members, and executive leadership of charitable organizations, private foundations, advocacy groups, religious institutions, and other nonprofit entities throughout Colorado.
