This two-hour seminar is designed
to provide non profits with the information they need to proceed with the legal
process of incorporation. Topics covered include the benefits of being a non
profit (versus a for-profit business), incorporating and structuring the
nonprofit, state and federal reporting and regulation, fiscal agency, and
completing the Form 1023 for federal tax-exemption. Time is set aside for
general questions.

This workshop is sponsored by Goodwin Procter LLP, the

services to artists and arts organizations, as well as non-profit incorporation
services and fiscal agency.
