Matt began volunteering at VIP in 2000 and has used his corporate expertise to help more than ten nonprofit organizations incorporate and obtain tax exempt status.

In addition, Matt has shared his knowledge of nonprofit law with others - he has led several seminars for nonprofits on legal issues and is always just a phone call away for an attorney seeking guidance.

Currently, Matt is representing a faith-based nonprofit client needing assistance to obtain tax exempt status. Because of his dedication to VIP and his immense expertise, Matt has helped VIP's nonprofit clients to easily navigate the legal process and focus instead on their mission of helping others.
