A very useful conference

It'd be great to be able to get 3 hours of ethics CLE at this conference!

This CLE was excellent. The speakers were experienced and relatable.

The course was pretty good. It is really important that the questions from the people in the audience be repeated. It is frustrating to hear an answer and have to guess at the question.

Managing Private Philanthropy: 501(C)(4)s, Donor Advised Funds, and LLCs: Alternatives to Private Foundations? (Feb 2019)

Some social entrepreneurs find that the operational restrictions that come with private foundations inhibit their ability to pursue social change through a broad array of tactics and strategies. For those philanthropists, other vehicles (DAF’s, Social Welfare Organizations, and LLC’s) are complimenting their foundation work or replacing it altogether. Define these structures, examine how they differ from private foundations, and learn the common ways they are being used to achieve philanthropic goals.

Texas nonprofits of all sizes and varieties have become more active in the public forum and in the legislative process to advance their missions and the interests of their constituents. How effective are these activities and how does the “nonprofit sector” rank among the other special interest groups that occupy the policy and political landscape? Do charities, state associations and nonprofit activist groups have a special rolea special voicein the legislative process different from other interest groups? Do “dark money” organizations reflect negatively on other nonprofit organizations? Are nonprofit entities that perform government functions prepared for the related accountability and transparency in their operations? Discuss these questions in general terms with respect to the realities of the legislative process, with specific references to legislation expected in the 2019 session as well as comments on controversies and legislative challenges to the nonprofit sector in past sessions.
