As nonprofits navigate a complex landscape, practitioners, researchers, and regulators must understand and track the increasing number of laws and regulations that enable and constrain the nonprofit sector at the state level.
Join the Urban Institute and the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy for a virtual workshop on the Nonprofit Legal Compendium, an extensive searchable database of nonprofit laws covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Legal Compendium is a valuable resource that includes the text of statutes that can be searched by state and type of statute, helping users understand the breadth of regulation in individual states and to compare laws and regulations across states. This tool simplifies research into the legal basis of the nonprofit sector, which is undergoing unprecedented change. It can be used in combination with other databases and tools.
