Non-Profit
Non-Profit organizations are unlike any other form of business entity. The legal requirements of operating a Non-Profit can be confusing, even to the most seasoned for-profit business owner. Let us help you achieve Non-Profit status.
To help you navigate the confusing waters of creating and maintaining a Non-Profit, Dodge Legal has put together a variety of packages to take you all the way from analysis to formation of your Non-Profit. Choose the package best suited to your level of need and budget.
Non-Profit Pre-formation Analysis:
We offer one-on-one advice to selecting the specific entity structure, name, and funding options to start you off right on an on-going basis (to work with your own timetable) or on a flat fee consultation to fit your budgetary needs.
Our Non-Profit Formation Texas Basic Package:
This package offers you unlimited legal advice to guide you through the formation process for your Texas Non-Profit corporation. This flat fee package includes your filing with the Texas Secretary of State, a personalized company binder, your Bylaws, Minutes of your First Organizational Meeting, general tax information, personalized steel seal (for embossing your corporate documents valued at $80.00), and other forms for your future use. All fees and costs are included for Texas formation.
Our Non-Profit Formation Texas Plus Package:
This includes everything in the Basic Package plus additional documents needed for applying for IRS 501(c)(3) status such as a Conflicts of Interest Policy, Document Retention Policy, Whistleblower Policy, and up to 10 hours of attorney time to assist you with your 501(c)(3) application to the IRS.
Our Non-Profit Formation Texas Unlimited Package:
This includes everything in the Texas Plus Package plus unlimited attorney time to complete your IRS 501(c)(3) application with all attachments for immediate submission in a standard business week or less. This package includes all the attorney time for the Texas formation process as well as the 60 or more hours needed to complete the IRS 501(c)(3) application. We also guarantee that if the IRS claims your 501(c)(3) application is missing information, we will supplement your package at no charge.
Our Non-Profit Reinstatement Unlimited Package:
This is geared towards the established Non-Profit organization that has lost its tax-exempt status and seeks reinstatement with the IRS. It includes unlimited attorney time to coordinate issues with the IRS, a review and update of any necessary legal documents, reconstruction of legal Minutes, and the institution of procedural safeguards to avoid future loss of status. This process is completed within a standard business week or less for immediate submission to the IRS.
Once your Non-Profit organization is established, we also offer training to your board of directors to help ensure that the Non-Profit organization and its members remain in compliance with state and federal laws.
