Webinar: Before You Start - Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Entity

← back to the nonprofit webinar archive

Many individuals looking to start a charitable, religious, scientific, or educational project will choose to create a 501(c)(3) public charity – but is this pathway the right choice for you? 

This webinar is designed to give prospective nonprofit founders:
(1) an overview of what 501(c)(3) organizations are, from a legal and operational perspective, and 
(2) a survey of alternative approaches for mission-minded individuals including starting a for-profit entity, founding hybrid “benefit”-type organizations, and working in collaboration with existing nonprofits. 

This webinar will be presented by Jason Qu, Sr. Managing Attorney for Nonprofit and Small Business Legal Assistance Programs at the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center.
