Event Description: This workshop will explain how to write the bylaws for your nonprofit organization that are required for the 501c3. Bylaws are the operating manual for your nonprofit that describe how your nonprofit will be structured. This legal document does not require precise wording but the IRS looks for specific language in deeming the activities of the organization as nonprofit. We will cover where to obtain this specific language as well as the nuances associated with the information included in the bylaws.
