As a nonprofit manager, fund-raiser, or professional adviser, you encounter numerous legal, tax, and technical terms in your daily activities. Now, at last, there's one easy-to-use reference that explains these terms in plain English. The Nonprofit Law Dictionary is the first comprehensive A-to-Z reference to clearly define the specialized terms of the nonprofit sector.
The vocabulary of the nonprofit sector derives from a maze of federal and state legislation and regulations that pertain to the daily activities of nonprofits in such areas as tax exemption, fund-raising, accounting and financial reporting, charitable giving, lobbying, and general management. The Dictionary decodes this complex language to help you better manage your organization.
Created by Bruce R. Hopkins, a noted lawyer, author, and lecturer in the field, this invaluable reference defines nearly 2,000 of the most important terms in the nonprofit lexicon. The Dictionary serves as an ideal companion to other titles in Wiley's Nonprofit Law, Finance, and Management Series, to which it is fully cross-referenced.
As a quick but thorough reference guide, the Dictionary will help you work more efficiently and effectively with your lawyers and accountants . . . assume greater control of every aspect of your operation . . . and steer clear of the legal and accounting traps set for the unwary and unprepared. With the Nonprofit Law Dictionary, all your hard work will translate into success.
