Not For Profit Organizations

Entity Formation · Tax Treatment · Preservation · Charitable Activities

We have helped churches, historical societies, art clubs, groups helping at-risk youth, and other charitable organizations. Whether it is drafting the right construction contract to fix up an old building, or writing the grant to fund the group or their project, at law office of John C. Stewart, Attorney at Law, in Denver, Colorado, we find working with non profit organizations to be one of our most rewarding areas of practice. For more information about non profit incorporation, contact our office to schedule a consultation with our lawyer.

Over our years of practice, we have helped many non profit organizations incorporate under Colorado law and obtain tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Because many legal issues that tax exempt organizations face involve real property, our many years of experience with real estate law and natural resources law gives our firm the opportunity to provide qualified advice and representation in all manner of legal issues, such as:

• Quieting title to an historic property
• Placing an historic place on the local, state or national historic register
• Obtaining a conservation easement to ensure that ranch land is not developed
• Negotiating a working arrangement between preservation and ongoing businesses

If you have a great idea for a charitable organization, an educational association, or other not for profit corporation, or you are a board member for an existing non profit, contact our firm to schedule a consultation with our lawyer to discuss your legal questions regarding 501(c)(3) organizations and other Colorado tax exempt corporations.
