U.S. non-profit organizations that make grants or carry out programs outside the country are subject to additional requirements under federal law, including rules imposed by Congress and the IRS, as well as the laws of the countries in which they operate.
We have extensive experience advising private foundations and other non-profits engaged in international grantmaking and cross-border activities. Whether the work involves straightforward grants to non-U.S. organizations or establishing and operating programs abroad, we provide practical guidance to help ensure your international activities remain compliant and well structured.
We support and guide non-profits in a wide range of international areas, including:
- Federal requirements for grantmaking to overseas organizations.
- Fundraising and grantmaking by “Friends of” organizations that support foreign nonprofits.
- Expenditure responsibility and foreign equivalency requirements for foundations making grants to foreign charities.
- Risk management for U.S. charities operating overseas.
- Compliance with U.S. Treasury Department anti-terrorism guidelines.
