Colorado Nonprofit Law Attorneys
Serving Clients throughout the Nation and the World

Alex Halpern LLC represents nonprofit organizations throughout the United States in the initial stages of incorporation of 501(c)(3) organizations and obtaining federal income tax exempt status and in their on-going activities. 

Working for nonprofits requires specialized knowledge in such areas as soliciting and receiving donations of cash and property, foreign and domestic grant making, obtaining church status, compensation and parsonage agreements, and financial compliance.  In addition, nonprofits often require legal assistance in corporate law, real estate, intellectual property, banking and financial transactions, publishing and speaking contracts, immigration, insurance, and general business transactions.

Mr. Halpern has served as general counsel to the Shambhala International association of Buddhist churches, charities, and educational nonprofits since 1990.  In that role, he has overseen the organization and activities of affiliated organizations in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Mexico, and New Zealand.  He also serves as counsel to the United States organizations of many of today’s most prominent Buddhist teachers, including the Pundarika Foundation (Ven. Tsoknyi Rinpoche), the Yongey Foundation (Ven. Mingyur Rinpoche), the Khyentse Foundation (Ven. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche), the Ripa Ladrang (Ven. Namkha Drimed Rinpoche), Mind and Life Institute (HH Dalai Lama), and the Pema Chodron Foundation.

In addition to religious organizations, the firm also represents non-profit schools and educational charities, peace and social action organizations, healthcare organizations, pubic interest law firms, and membership organizations.
