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 Proctor LLP, the Arts & Business Council of Boston, and Lawyer's Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse offers free legal services to nonprofit organizations or those seeking nonprofit status to further their goals.

The speakers for this workshop will be Alyssa Fitzgerald and Janet Rickershauser, trust and estate attorneys at Goodwin Procter.
