Who We Are

The Exempt Organizations Committee focuses on issues affecting tax-exempt organizations described in Section 501(c)(3), such as schools, hospitals, museums, and foundations, as well as non-charitable organizations such as trade associations and social clubs. Among the issues affecting this diverse body of organizations are the qualification of organizations for federal and state tax exemptions, commercial activities and the unrelated business income tax, joint ventures, intermediate sanctions, lobbying activities, tax-exempt financing, state nonprofit law, public charity status, and charitable contributions. Although the Committee's principal focus is on domestic tax-exempt organizations, the Committee devotes considerable attention to international philanthropy. The committee has numerous subcommittees that focus on specific issues or particular types of exempt organizations.

ATTENTION YOUNG LAWYERS! The Exempt Organizations Committee is actively seeking young attorneys interested in developing careers in this specialty. If you're interested in networking with peers sharing an interest in exempt organizations and taxation, please submit your information.
