About Ryan J. Dowd, Attorney-at-Law
"Our Mission is to Protect Your Mission"
After finishing second in his law school class, Mr. Dowd turned down lucrative job offers at a large downtown law firm and the Tax Exempt Division of the IRS
in order to run a nonprofit organization (Hesed House).
Mr. Dowd’s article A Plan for Reforming the Analysis of Section 170 Deductibility of Charitable Donations Earmarked for Individuals
(The Exempt Organization Tax Review) is cited in the Law School textbook Tax Exempt Organizations: Cases and Materials by Cafardi & Cherry.
As the Executive Director of a nonprofit and an attorney that practices exclusively with nonprofits, Mr. Dowd understands the special
circumstances and challenges that nonprofits face.
