Fiscal sponsorship is a time-honored method to spawn new charitable activity when the people with the vision and the energy to do the work do not have recognition of federal tax-exempt status.

It can function smoothly as an incubator of important new projects. Or it can function badly as a serious trap for the unwary.

This webinar will define fiscal sponsorship and discuss the most common types of sponsorship arrangements. It will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type and the special considerations for funders, sponsors, and the sponsored. It will review specific critical provisions of sponsorship agreements, particularly termination and exit issues.

Nonprofit Issues^® editor Don Kramer is joined by joined by Jeffrey Fromknecht, an attorney with offices in Western Pennsylvania and Florida and President of The Side Project, to discuss the practical issues in administering fiscal sponsorship arrangements. Tish Mogan, Standards for Excellence Director for the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations, will be the program facilitator.

April Webinar

Six Critical Policies for Nonprofits
Thursday, April 13, 2023
1:30-3:00 PM ET

Concerned about the governance of your organization? Take a renewed look at six critical policies that help your organization function safely and effectively.

Nonprofits have traditionally paid attention to conflict of interest policies, whistleblower policies, and document retention and destruction policies. Organizations pay attention, in large part, because the IRS asks about these policies on the Form 990 tax return. But these policies are critical in ensuring that the organization protects itself from wrong-doing and criticism that would undermine its ability to promote its mission. Potential donors, members of the media, regulators, and careful job seekers will have greater confidence when an organization responds “yes” to the policy questions on the 990.

Nonprofit bylaw review

Don Kramer will review and comment on your own current or proposed bylaws

Do your Bylaws reflect the way you actually operate? Do they protect the interests of those who should be protected? Do they spell out clearly how to deal with governance issues? Or do they create uncertainty for those who have to implement them?

Most nonprofits don't spend a lot of time looking at their Bylaws until there is a question or a dispute. That's when you need bylaws that are clear and unambiguous, so your questions on how to proceed are already answered. That's when bad bylaws can lead to unnecessary controversies or even costly litigation. Nonprofit Issues editor Don Kramer will review your current or proposed Bylaws to see if they work for you.
