If a consultant offers services for a proposed fee and informs the client that he will contribute to the nonprofit some percentage of the fee; is that legal ethical?
State/Country of Question: New Jersey Already Tried: The reason I want to structure things this way is that I have a charitable fund and the funds are "spent" already. I'm launching my nonprofit consulting practice next month and thought donating to the NP as an inducement to use my services would be a great marketing tool. I provide human resources consulting. Thanks, Jim
what do you mean to "the nonprofit?" and what industry is the consultant in?
An example of a nonprofit would be the American Red Cross, Cathilic Charities or the Center for the Arts.
I understand what a nonprofit is, but by your use of "the nonprofit" it implied a certain nonprofit was agreed upon, is that the case?
No. This is a hypothetical to consider prior to execting a donation to a specific organization.
oh ok, no this is not illegal. It sounds like you are doing the "a portion of the proceeds will be donated to (insert charity)" thing and that is completely legal.
