Reference Book on Laws Governing Non-Profit Fund Raising

May 4, 2000 | Read Time: 1 minute

The First Legal Answer Book for Fund-Raisers
By Bruce R. Hopkins

This book is designed for fund raisers, non-profit executives, lawyers, accountants, and others who need quick answers to questions raised by the laws governing charitable solicitation.

Mr. Hopkins, a lawyer in Kansas City, Mo., structures the book in question-and-answer format. He covers basics, public-charity status, tax-exemption application, rules governing deductions, unrelated-business activities, planned giving, pay for fund raisers, tax returns, and state laws.

In all, he provides answers to 260 questions — as well as comments and cautionary tales reflecting the latest changes in U.S. tax law.
