Nonprofit Law: Year in Review Webinar (Recorded)

This has been a tumultuous year for nonprofits.  They are facing unprecedented upheaval in the legal environment affecting their operations at both the federal and state level. This program discusses the critical legal and public policy developments impacting nonprofits today. Attendees will gain practical insights on how these changes affect nonprofit operations and learn strategies to help nonprofit organizations maintain compliance while advancing their missions. This webinar will help prepare you to meet your nonprofit’s most pressing needs.

Join Nonprofit Issues® editor Don Kramer for his Annual Review of “What’s New in Nonprofit Law” and things to expect coming up.  It is always one of our most popular webinars of the year.

Here are some of the topics he will be discussing:

Federal grant cutbacks and efforts to restore funding.

The Big Bill Beautiful for Some.   It does provide a significant above-the-line charitable contribution deduction for public charities and avoids some of the most adverse proposals for the charitable sector.  It includes a lot of other provisions affecting charitable giving and creating more work for charities.

Diversity, equity and inclusion.  The Trump Administration’s efforts to eliminate DEI, charities’ efforts to fight back, and court decisions protecting DEI as a First Amendment right.

Charitable remedial discrimination.

Multiple challenges to higher education.  The industry is a microcosm of most of the issues facing nonprofits.

Promised investigations of foundations.

Status of the new Pennsylvania annual report filing process.

Expansion of the test for Pennsylvania charitable tax exemption.

Issues of fiduciary duty, including a “gag” bylaw at Penn State.

Whether a non-religious nonprofit may seek protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

And much more!

Here’s what some past participants have said in their evaluations of this webinar:

• I thought last year’s review better than two full days of [a university's] EO program

• Awesome

Every respondent said that they learned something they could use in their work and would recommend the webinar to others.
