The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has valuable guidance and resources available for nonprofit organizations. Their goal is to make sure your nonprofit stays tax-exempt and complies with filing and reporting requirements.
Compliance Guide for 501(c)3 Charities: IRS Publication 4221 highlights basic information on everything from risks to board governance to filing
requirements. It’s easy to read and a great resource to keep on hand.
