Charitable Giving & Philanthropic Planning
Strategic Legal Counsel for Charitable Giving, Grant-making, and Philanthropic Strategy
At For Purpose Law Group (FPLG), we provide comprehensive charitable giving legal services and philanthropic planning support for nonprofits, foundations, and individuals committed to driving social change. Whether you are structuring a private foundation, developing a domestic or international grant-making program, or navigating complex charitable tax issues, our nonprofit tax attorneys ensure your generosity is both legally compliant and strategically optimized.
Whether you're managing a private foundation, planning a major philanthropic initiative, or structuring complex grants in the U.S. or abroad, our team ensures your generosity is legally sound, tax-efficient, and mission-aligned.
Strategic Charitable Giving
Charitable contributions should fuel impact—not trigger unexpected tax liabilities. Our nonprofit tax attorneys guide organizations and donors through complex charitable tax planning strategies, including federal charitable contribution deductions, excise tax compliance, unrelated business income (UBI) mitigation, and structured giving vehicles. We ensure your charitable initiatives stay compliant with IRS rules while making the most of every tax advantage available.
U.S. Grant-making Guidance
Domestic grant-making requires more than good intentions—it requires careful legal oversight. FPLG supports grant-making organizations in drafting compliant grant agreements, managing restricted and unrestricted funding, designing grant review processes, and meeting all applicable state and federal reporting requirements. Our grant-making legal services help private foundations and nonprofits deploy resources with confidence and compliance.
Foreign Grantmaking Compliance
International philanthropy opens powerful opportunities—and serious compliance challenges. Our nonprofit attorneys specialize in foreign grant-making legal counsel, advising on IRS expenditure responsibility rules, equivalency determinations, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, and anti-terrorism financing compliance. We help you expand your global impact without risking your organization’s tax-exempt status.
Asset Protection for Nonprofits and Charitable Entities
Protecting charitable assets ensures that every dollar furthers your mission. FPLG’s attorneys help nonprofits, foundations, and social enterprises develop governance structures, audit policies, internal controls, and risk management strategies to safeguard funds against litigation, misuse, or external threats. Our asset protection planning services keep your organization’s future secure and mission-focused.
