Practice Area: Nonprofit & Charitable
Nonprofit & Charitable
For two decades, the attorneys at Folger Levin have served as trusted advisors and partners to the
Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. We rely on the breadth of legal experience and
expertise that Folger Levin offers to meet our organization’s many complex operating needs.
While nonprofit and charitable organizations face many of the same legal issues as for-profit organizations, the many state and federal legal requirements that are unique to nonprofits make experience with nonprofits essential to effective representation. Attorneys from all our practice groups collaborate to respond to the needs of our nonprofit clients, and, as a result, we are able to counsel our nonprofit clients efficiently and effectively.
We represent nonprofit organizations on a wide range of issues, including formation, corporate governance, taxation, real estate, financings (including exempt bond financings), intellectual property, and employment matters. We have also represented nonprofit organizations in litigation before state and federal courts and administrative agencies in matters involving bequests and trust distributions, fiduciary duties, wage and hour, wrongful termination and employee benefit claims, and contract disputes.
Our attorneys have represented public charitable, medical and otherwise beneficent organizations; public media organizations (television and radio); private, family and community foundations, trade associations and standard-setting groups; and primary, secondary, college and post-graduate schools and other educational organizations. Many of our attorneys have also served on the boards of nonprofit organizations, giving them valuable insight into the operations and needs of nonprofit organizations.
