A companion website provides seven additional online resources, including Cumulative Tables of IRS Private Letter Rulings, Technical Advice Memoranda, and Counsel Memoranda. Sample topics featured in this book include:

• Nonprofit governance, including board duties and responsibilities in duty of care, loyalty, and obedience
• Charitable organizations focusing on relief of distressed, provision of housing, and promotion of health and social welfare

The thirteenth edition of The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations is an essential reference for all non-profit organizations to ensure compliance in all directives and activities.
