 he Tax Exempt Organizations
Practice Group was founded by Mark B. Weinberg. He brings extensive
experience to the representation of tax exempt organizations,
including §501(c)(3) charities and professional associations,
§501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, §501(c)(6) trade
associations, and other exempt groups. We have also successfully
counseled State and local governmental units in structuring their
affairs so as to minimize or avoid taxes under concepts of
Intergovernmental Tax Immunity and §115 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
While IRS audits, large and small, are a specialty of ours, we
plan for our clients so as to avoid problems. Our firm organizes
and secures appropriate Federal, State and local tax exemptions
for a wide variety of exempt groups. We also create taxable subsidiaries,
restructure contracts so as to minimize Unrelated Business Income
Tax, and revise non-profit governance systems for existing
organizations. We also provide tax planning for both the
organizations and their prospective donors, configure
nonqualified executive compensation, guide private foundations
through the specific constraints applicable to them, and advise
charities, social welfare groups, trade and professional
associations on related issues such as tax limits on lobbying and
campaign activity by tax exempt entities.
Weinberg & Jacobs' attorneys have handled such specific
matters as: creation and operation of Family Private Foundations,
planned giving, mergers and acquisitions of non-profits, creation
of for-profit subsidiaries and re-organizations. Our clients
include many public charities (such as public broadcasters, a
national academy, and universities and museums here and abroad),
private foundations, social welfare groups, trade and
professional associations, and religious institutions.
