The US is said to have some three million nonprofit organizations. A lawyer who has written several books on the legal aspects of managing tax-exempt organizations provides a guide that he regards as a complement to W. Ruppel's Not-for-Profit Accounting Made Easy (Wiley, 2002). After overviewing the philosophical rationale for forming a nonprofit and its organizational structure, Hopkins discusses the concept of tax- exempt status, subsidiaries (tax-exempt and for-profit), current and emerging Federal regulations, and potential legal traps (e.g. over-zealous lobbying).
