Legal Issue(s):
The Center for Oil and Gas Organizing (COGO) is currently fiscally sponsored. They are now considering spinning out and becoming an independent non-profit. They are seeking a consultation to discuss the process, whether it is appropriate for them to spin out at this time, and whether a 501(c)(3) of 501(c)(4) best fits their needs. Should they move forward, they would also appreciate assistance setting up the entity itself. However, this is a secondary request.
