Over the past 60 years, Bever Dye has maintained an extensive practice representing the needs of tax-exempt organizations, including public and private charitable organizations and religious institutions. We have also assisted in the formation of new organizations, taken part in planning to minimize unrelated business income tax liabilities, negotiated employment contracts and fringe benefit arrangements and ensured compliance with private foundation restrictions and regulations.

Bever Dye works with Section 501(c)(3) charitable and other tax-exempt organizations in obtaining and maintaining their exempt status. We assist clients in completing and filing applications for recognition of exemption with the Internal Revenue Service. We advise clients on avoiding transactions which can jeopardize an organization's exemption or which can result in prohibitive excise taxes or other adverse consequences. We obtain rulings from the Service regarding prospective transactions. We help families achieve charitable objectives through the formation of private foundations and charitable remainder and lead trusts.
