Webinar: How to Legally Form a 501c3 Organization

November 02, 2023

Taproot partnered with TrustLaw, the global pro bono legal service of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP, to develop “Legal Steps to Forming a 501(c)(3) Organization” to walk you through the process. The guide includes step-by-step directions to form a not-for-profit corporation and apply for federal 501(c)(3) status.

To explain how to use the guide and answer questions, experts from TrustLaw and Kirkland & Ellis LLP joined us for a 30-minute webinar on Tuesday, October 24th. They covered:

  • The pros and cons of developing a 501(c)(3)
  • Articles of Incorporation
  • Overview of Forms 1023 and 990
  • Ongoing compliance requirements
  • Alternatives to forming a 501(c)(3) organization
  • And much more

We recommend reviewing “Legal Steps to Forming a 501(c)(3) Organization” beforehand to familiarize yourself with the information.

  • Emma Hunt, TrustLaw Legal Programme Manager, North America and the Caribbean 
  • Sabrina Glaser, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP
  • Fariha Syed, Associate, Kirkland & Ellis LLP
