Legal Compliance Guidances
Council on Foundations offers a wide range of legal compliance guidelines prepared by experts on their staff and their supporting attorneys. These materials should be treated as references for informational purposes, but are good starting places for learning about how recent policy and legal changes may affect a foundation’s operations.
Taking a variety of forms from white papers to recorded webinars, we recommend starting with the Compendium of Legal Resources, which offers a comprehensive overview for non-lawyers. Some materials may only be available to members of the Council on Foundations.
Use This Resource to:
- Refresh basic legal compliance knowledge related to a wide breadth of foundation activities.
- Get up-to-date recommendations from legal experts in response to recent policy changes.
- Compliance issues to consider when embarking on new thematic areas of grantmaking or in new geographic regions.
