A View of the Sector: Implementing Tax Reform for Tax-Exempt Organizations (Feb 2020)

Multi-organization Structures for Advocacy: 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, PACs, etc. (Feb 2020)

Achieving your policy and political goals might require using different types of organizations – a 501(c)(3) educational arm, a 501(c)(4) to engage in more lobbying and political activity, state or federal (or both) super PAC or hard-money political committees, and maybe more. This session will help you structure a multifaceted advocacy program that complies with tax law and campaign finance law.

Taxable Expenditure Flashpoints (Feb 2020)

Managing private foundation expenditures is not always intuitive. Despite charitable intentions, funding entities other than public charities require Expenditure Responsibility steps which are often missed. Individual grants for disaster or poverty relief, awards for achievement, or research of social issues require documentation of exempt purpose unlike travel or study support that require Pre-IRS approval. Even if a foundation thinks it is maintaining ER and evidence of charitable nature of its spending, missteps result in a taxable expenditure and excise tax can be imposed. How a foundation properly corrects such missteps is challenging and needed to avoid the second tier tax.

Donor Advised Funds (DAF), have become go-to vehicles for philanthropy.

The Tapestry of Strategically (and Legally) Using Commercial Enterprises to Achieve Charitable Ends (Feb 2020)

Opportunities for exempt organizations to work with and through market-oriented enterprises and interventions to pursue their charitable purposes are increasing. Doing so involves a variety of factors and attention to the pros and cons of different approaches. Strategically balancing charitability, private benefit, tax considerations, structures and forms, licensing, data, decision-making, assessments, and more are among the inter-related threads that run through these approaches. Instead of hanging loosely, these threads together create a tapestry of strategic decisions and opportunities. This master class focuses on how these considerations fit together.

Advanced Compensation and Benefits Issues (Feb 2020)

When a nonprofit organization receives services from an individual who is employed by a related organization, whether nonprofit or for-profit, it can be complicated to determine the applicable employment tax requirements and the permissible benefits arrangements. Adding to the complexity is the new section 4960 excise tax which applies when a nonprofit tax-exempt organization pays over $1 million in annual compensation. Review the current state of guidance on section 4960 as well as complex employment tax and benefits issues associated with shared employment, including common paymasters, reporting agents, and FUTA.

The Accounting Standards Are Not Just For the Accountants Any More (Feb 2020)

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) determine whether, when, and how contributions are recognized in the accounting records and financial statements. Accounting for contributions can be significantly influenced by how resources are solicited and documented by donors and nonprofit organizations. Donors, development professionals and accountants need to understand how to assist each other so we're all "rowing in the same direction" to serve the needs of the not-for-profit community. Hear an overview of the new accounting rules for contributions (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-08, Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made) and a discussion of the adoption of the new Financial Reporting Disclosures for Operating Liquidity.
