Join this session where we will discuss the 501(c)(4) as an alternative to the charitable foundation as a powerful option for donors looking to make a long-term impact, without some of the constraints of a private foundation. The presentation will address the drawbacks of the structure, strategies for avoiding and minimizing many of them, and why high net-worth individuals might find the 501(c)(4) to be an important option. We will also take a look at what it means to form, operate, and maintain tax-exempt status and compliance for a 501(c)(4).

Karl continues to advise a broad range of non-profit organizations, including everything from the most innovative start-ups to some of the largest, most established foundations and charities around the country.

Our firm was formed in 1987 with one lawyer and a shared secretary and receptionist to provide representation to professionals, business owners and retirees in their estate and related tax and personal planning, business and corporate needs.
Since then we have grown to 6 lawyers and over 20 staff, which we have found over the past two decades to be the best size for us. We are very proud of our team, our systems, and our dedication to providing the best and most appropriate legal services for all clients, whether big or small. Our lawyers meet together almost every morning to discuss and work together on cases, strategies and practice improvement projects in order to work the most efficiently and effectively for our clients. We like what we do and enjoy working together.
