Nonprofit Formation
A nonprofit is a legal entity aimed at providing a collective, public or social benefit as opposed to a legal entity operating to generate money for its owners. Forming a nonprofit and maintaining a nonprofit is a relatively involved process. During this webinar we hear from attorney Ryan Barry of Bulkley Richardson who specializes in forming nonprofits and Gini Mazman, a member of the newly formed nonprofit Nourishing the North Shore. Together, they cover the ins and outs of forming a nonprofit as well as common pitfalls and best practices.
