New SPANISH EDITION of THE ABC’S OF NONPROFITS*
El ABC de las Organizaciones sin Fines de Lucro
Over the years, Spanish had been the primary language of a large number of my clients. Many times, the clients will bring a relative to translate our meetings. El ABC de las Organizaciones sin Fines de Lucro bridges the gap between the world of nonprofit law and Spanish speaking clients. As with the English version, this edition is written in a narrative format with a practitioner advising a client on the key steps for establishing a nonprofit corporation. Additional resources are included plus examples of sample forms.
El ABC de las Organizaciones sin Fines de Lucro is an invaluable tool to help nonprofits figure out where to start, what works, what doesn’t, and why.
