Page 5 - Washington Nonprofit Handbook 2018 Edition

Cautionary Note

This handbook contains information about the laws impacting nonprofit
organizations in Washington. Legal information is not the same as legal advice
(which involves applying laws to particular individuals and organizations and their
unique circumstances). It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney to
obtain advice as to how the law should be interpreted in light of the particularities
of you, your organization and your situation. You should be aware that the laws
impacting nonprofit organizations change over time. The information contained in
this handbook may become out of date.

This handbook is only partially revised. All chapters involving the Washington
Nonprofit Corporation Act (RCW 24.03) have not been materially revised because
the statute has not changed since the 2009 edition. We do expect the Washington
Nonprofit Corporation Act to be revised by the Washington State Legislature in the
near future and we will revise those chapters at that time. All other chapters have
been revised.
