Increasingly, nonprofit organizations are involved in implementing business ventures in order to promote job development, encourage neighborhood revitalization, and create new revenue streams to support their work. This workshop will explore the different legal structures through which nonprofit organizations can participate in business ventures and commercial activity, with a focus on limited liability companies, for-profit subsidiaries, partnerships, and contractual joint ventures. The second segment will focus on the benefits and disadvantages of these legal structures, with emphasis on the goals of protecting the nonprofit organization from potential liability, protecting the nonprofit organization's tax-exempt status, and raising outside capital for the business venture. The final segment will look at sample operating agreements for limited liability companies and other legal structures.
