In a concise format, Nonprofit Law: The Charitable Life of a Charitable Organization, Fourth Edition provides up-to-date information about the legal issues that can arise at every turn of a Section 501(c)(3) organization—from inception to termination. The book is designed to satisfy the highest academic requirements for law, business, and public policy students and to provide a helpful desk reference to practicing nonprofit professionals. It uses cases, hypothetical questions, and examples from current events to explore the corporate, tax, and other regulatory issues that nonprofit managers, board members, and their lawyers ultimately face.   

New to the Fourth Edition:

  • New cases from the U.S. Supreme Court (Loper Bright) and the Minnesota Supreme Court (Otto Bremer Trust).
  • Discussion of important recent cases involving the National Rifle Association, Open AI (Chat GPT), and affirmative action.
  • Discussion of alternative structures that can achieve a charitable mission.
  • Discussion of the Model Nonprofit Corporations Act, 4th Ed. (2022), and the Restatement of the Law, Charitable Nonprofit Organizations (2021).
  • Up-to-date analysis of nonprofit issues in the news, such as threats from politicians to end tax exemption, donor advised funds, hospitals, property taxes, and NIL (name, image, and likeness) athletic organizations Updated statistics throughout the book.
