The bottom line for board members.
Members of governing boards of charitable organizations described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) have a duty to assure that the organization does not provide certain inside parties more than an arm’s length, fair market value compensation, contract terms and/or fringe benefits. The IRS imposes severe penalties on the recipient of excessive compensation, and also imposes personal financial penalties on directors or trustees when it finds an excess benefit transaction. This white paper provides an overview of intermediate sanctions and discusses taxes on disqualified persons and organization managers.
