Publisher's Synopsis
The first A–to–Z reference to the hundreds of technical terms and phrases every nonprofit manager must know
Now in Paper!
Nonprofit organizations have been subjected to an immense amount of state and federal regulation over the past two decades. As a consequence anyone involved in the nonprofit sector must now be conversant with a vast and growing body of abstruse legal terms and concepts. Written by one of the nation′s leading experts in nonprofit law, this is the first complete, authoritative guide to mastering that complicated language. Designed to help managers and fund–raising professionals successfully navigate the mine field of federal and state rules and regulations, it offers clear, concise definitions of nearly 2,000 important, often misunderstood law and tax terms—from deceptively simple words like charitable and expenses to complicated technical terms such as fragmentation rule and unrelated business income.
- A comprehensive guide to the terms and phrases nonprofit managers must master to effectively manage their organizations
- Covers all crucial areas, including tax exemption, tax planning and compliance, fund–raising, unrelated business and commercial operations, lobbying and other types of nonprofit advocacy, and more
