Austin – Four Seasons Hotel – Jan 22-23, 2026

Don’t miss the 43rd Annual Nonprofit Organizations Institute, featuring nationally recognized experts from private foundations, public charities, law, finance, and government discussing the latest tax, legislative and governance issues affecting nonprofit organizations.  The Institute offers in-depth discussion on the issues most relevant to your organization or practice, with two days of presentations, targeted tracks, and opportunities to attend small-group "master classes" for a deeper dive on key topics. By attending this program, participants will be able to:  Analyze recent federal and state regulatory developments impacting nonprofit organizations, including IRS audits, DOJ investigations, and legislative updates. Evaluate fiduciary duties, risk management strategies, and ethical considerations to strengthen nonprofit governance and compliance. Apply practical frameworks for managing charitable giving vehicles (DAFs, fiscal sponsors, supporting organizations) and structuring grants, contracts, and prizes. Assess emerging issues such as artificial intelligence, advocacy, multi-entity structures, and international grantmaking to guide nonprofit operations in a changing environment. Join a day early for the Nonprofit Organizations Essentials—the perfect half-day overview for new entrants and seasoned practitioners alike, with focused attention on core concerns and strategies for both private foundations and charitable organizations, as well as opportunities to ask questions of experts and colleagues.
