Nonprofit? Stay out of IRS trouble with the ultimate corporate housekeeping tool!



Nearly 1.5 million nonprofit organizations are busy preserving historic sites, saving libraries, helping the homeless, greening our cities–and so much more.

adjourning meetings

working with a lawyer, if necessary, and

finding a tax adviser.



Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records also provides useful tips and advice on how to do important tasks, such as organizing records, preparing meeting folders, and taking minutes. Plus, all necessary legal documents are included for you to fill out. It’s everything you need to keep your nonprofit running smoothly and legally.
