This webinar describes 501(c)(3) Decision Guide. This guide assists local health departments (LHDs) in determining whether they should formalize their community health coalition under a 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Formalizing a coalition as a nonprofit can help coalitions maintain partnerships, maximize their collective capacity, operationalize mission-driven values, and diversify funding streams. By exploring various considerations of a 501(c) (3) nonprofit status, coalitions will be able to detail what makes this strategy worthwhile.
