U.S. nonprofit organizations that engage in grantmaking or program delivery outside the country must comply with additional laws imposed by Congress and the IRS, as well as laws of the countries in which they operate.
We have extensive experience with private foundations and other nonprofits that make grants overseas and engage in cross-border work. From “simple” grantmaking involving non-U.S. entities, to standing up overseas programming, we can provide advice to ensure your international activities are compliant.
We support and guide nonprofits 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.
