Product Description
This is everything you need to know to create and protect your nonprofit corporation and more. Written and based on first hand, actual case experience, this book has everythng---articles of incorporation, bylaws, employee contracts, insurance waivers, legal information about taxes---and where to go and where to find what you need when you need it. Not a boring how-to, but a how-to with snap. Learn to recognize the child molesters and embezzlers among you, and how to put a stop to things that could endanger your children. Written for kids sports team's booster clubs, but filled with practical legal infomation any corporation or parent could use. This book contains the information that embezzlers and child molesters do not want parents or anyone to know. At the same time, all the legal details of formation, and maintaining of a nonprofit are clearly set before the reader in layman's terms the reader can clearly understand. Humorous and serious, the Unknown Attorney leads the way through the maze of the law of nonprofit corporations. This book is also required reading for a BYU granduate class in public management, and when a book is required reading by one of the top universities in the United States, then you can be sure it has something valuable to say. IMPORTANT UPDATE: One of the coaches described in this book has now been arrested for child molestation---read this book immediately and learn how to protect your children!

 Great if you are starting/ running a swim team August 18, 2007

First, this book was written with good intentions, and if you are starting a swim team or other organizations and you want to avoid dealing with shady people, etc. I would recommend reading it. However if you are looking for a book with general Not-for-Profit information in it, I felt this book fell short for me. The summary and all the similar glowing comments led me to buy the book, but in my opinion, the book is not well organized, and doesn't really provide the general information I was looking for to help my NFP knowledge. My Not-for-Profit is not in the sports arena, and so a good portion of the book wasn't really relevant. Kudos to the author however for her advocacy for safety of our young ones!

This is a book about real things that happened to a nonprofit, a case study. Those who are bad guys will be exposed or found out because this book tells you how to do it. Some things are universal about all nonprofits, and it is what goes on in them after they are formed that can be good or bad. Bylaws, articles of incorporation, are in here, loads of forms and examples--even a form from Australia. Specific state requirements can differ and this book explains that while going over federal laws and statutes. Keep your library complete---If you want a complete look at what can happen (and did happen) in a nonprofit and what your rights and liabilities are---and want to be taken step by step in what to do when it happens and how to prevent it, and if your group works with children, especially, then this is the book you should read and really need.

My reviews, which are good ones, keep getting removed from this site by someone. I do not know why this is happening. I am not the author of the book. I know the author of the book. If I thought something was wrong with this book, I would say it.
A major university in the United States, BYU, uses this book in its public management class. It is a very good book, and it is thorough.
The book is loaded with examples of forms from Articles of Incoporation, to bylaws and even insurance waivers.
The book goes from creation to maintaining a nonprofit corporation, and the description is true to its title as well as its description.
It tells you how to recognize embezzlement and how to prevent it, and it tells you how to recognize if a child molester is in your midst. This information is invaluable if you are running an organization involving children, such as a sport booster club for a team--which is the theme of this book.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BOOK TO OWN.
Remember BYU uses this book in one of its graduate public management graduate classes, so do you need a higher recommendation?
The book isn't good because of its layout. The book is good because it is informative and tells you what your rights, liabilities and responsibilities are!
 Great for school organizations February 15, 2007

I bought this hoping for some great information on a Non-profit that I am now managing. This book has great information on how to work with a non-profit involving schools or childrens activities. I could only use some of the information for my purposes.

I have a background in swimming and coaching. This book came highly recommended to me from a fellow coach. The information in here was eye opening. It helped me better understand the world that I am apart of and better prepare me to avoid the pitfalls of non-profit sports organizations. It was easy to understand and memorable.
