Interested in setting up a nonprofit?

Setting up a 501(c)(3): In this consultation, I work with the client to conceive the concept and purposes, the potential projects to be addressed, the manner of artist affiliation, the assembly of the proper board members, name of organization and a full overview of the organizational imperative. This consultation includes a digital copy of my entire 432-page book Straight Ahead – A Comprehensive Guide to the Business of Jazz (Without Sacrificing Dignity or Artistic Integrity), which contains the full chapter above the non-profit corporation with 89 Q/As covering all aspects of the entity.

The fee for this is a $600 flat rate for approximately 5 to 6 hours of time (this includes time working directly with our attorney). The consultation does not include the attorney’s fee or any filing fees. The attorney we use for this is Leonard Easter, one of the foremost non-profit attorneys in the country.  At present, his fee is $1,500 but he reduces that by $250 for my clients because he knows that they are fully prepared for incorporation and it diminishes his workload in the process. State filing fees tend to range between $150-250 and the federal filing fee at this time can be as little as $250.

50-year veteran manager, producer, project director, strategist Marty Khan has pioneered the use of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit for jazz artists and professionals since the early 1980s – a few years before jazz was brought into the performing arts world mainstream. In these two sessions, Khan gives a clear sense of the advantages and realities of this highly versatile, viable and productive methodology.
