You got into the nonprofit field because the passion for your organization’s mission drives you. You are not in this to become an expert in regulations and legal technicalities. But you do know your position requires you to reassure your donors, funders, members, and other stakeholders that you are a good steward of the organization’s assets and mission.
To be that good steward, you have to comply with the various requirements imposed by regulators like the Internal Revenue Service and the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office. You also need to follow good business practices. That is where our nonprofit attorney can step in.
Attorney Emmett Robertson runs our nonprofit and exempt organization legal practice. Not only is nonprofit law all Emmett practices, but he is also highly involved in the nonprofit world. As a current and former member of many boards, a former employee of multiple nonprofits, and an active participant in many community and professional organizations, Emmett knows this world well—but is still always seeking to learn more.
