NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

Giffin, Winning Cohen & Bodewes PC provides a wide range of services to non profit organizations, including formation, handling of tax exempt issues and general corporate matters.  Our clients include a large number of charitable organizations, supporting organizations, and private foundations. 

FORMATION

An attorney will meet with you to determine the needs of your organization and counsel you on the type of non profit organization that best fits those needs.  An attorney will prepare articles of incorporation, bylaws and other corporate documents for your organization and facilitate the incorporation process with the Illinois Secretary of State’s office.

TAX EXEMPT

An attorney will counsel corporate leaders on the type of tax exempt organization that best suits the organization’s needs.  An attorney will also assist your organization with its application to the Internal Revenue Service for tax exempt status.  We will facilitate the tax exempt application process with the Internal Revenue Service and answer any questions the Internal Revenue Service might have.  An attorney will also advise the corporate leaders if the organization is required to register with the Illinois Attorney General’s office as a Charitable Organization and assist in that process if required. 

GENERAL CORPORATE

Once a non profit organization is incorporated and has received its tax exempt status, an attorney will assist you with annual filing requirements to the Secretary of State’s office and the Attorney General’s office.  An attorney will also assist you in receiving real estate and sales tax exemptions.  Giffin, Winning Cohen & Bodewes PC’s experienced attorneys are available to assist you in every aspect of your business needs.
