I specialize in guiding founders through the complete lifecycle of forming and maintaining compliant non-profit organizations and charities in the United States. Key areas of my non-profit practice include: 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Status: Expert preparation and submission of IRS Forms 1023 and 1023-EZ to secure federal tax exemption. Corporate Governance: Helping organizations draft robust, compliant corporate bylaws and foundational documents required for structural approval. IRS Reinstatements & Annual Reporting: Assisting lapsed non-profits with filing retroactive annual information returns (Forms 990, 990-N) to successfully reinstate revoked tax-exempt statuses. My goal is to handle the legal and bureaucratic weight of IRS compliance so non-profit leaders can focus entirely on executing their mission and securing grants.
