Robinson Law Group, like many different attorneys, sets up "for profit" corporations. However, very few attorneys understand the special legal requirements of churches and other nonprofit organizations. Robinson Law Group not only handles "for profit" businesses, but has training and experience in handling many churches, ministries, and other nonprofit organizations such as adult day care centers, schools, counseling centers, merit scholarship funds, healthcare support groups, and physically challenged groups.

Why do you need a 501(c)3?

There are several important reasons. You need to be a good steward of the money your organization receives. That includes not paying taxes on your income, and not paying taxes on many kinds of purchases of goods to be used in the operation of your organization. Obtaining a tax-exempt status will accomplish this. Thus you will maximize the amount of money you have to spend on the plans and purposes of your exempt organization. Furthermore, by having an official letter of determination from the IRS as a charitable organization, you will encourage donors to more freely contribute financial support to your organization because they will have the confidence that you are legitimate and responsible. They also can rely on the fact that, in the case of an audit, the burden of proof regarding the propriety of a deductible gift shifts from the donor to the receiving organization.
