Regulatory and Legislative Update, Including State Registration & IRS Topics
About

By popular demand, Brian Flahaven and John Taylor reprise their annual review of some of the most sought-after presentation topics. This discussion will deeply dive into the most oft-asked questions and issues discussed in conferences and all Advancement listservs! The jam-packed session will begin with Brian updating us on the latest tax bills. He will also let us know about proposed legislation that may impact giving. In particular, Brian will share his thoughts on the future of several Capitol Hill topics, including the on-again and off-again discussions on eliminating the charitable deduction.

John will then lead a discussion on the often-overlooked issue of State charitable registration requirements. Overlooked until a nonprofit organization receives a not-so-nice letter from a State Attorney General! He will then dig into the never-ending questions regarding donor benefits - especially when gifts are made from donor-advised funds. He will also address the frequently misunderstood topic of corporate sponsorships. Time will be reserved to ask questions on any IRS or legislative matter that might keep you up at night!

Learning Objectives:

  1. Gain an updated perspective on the impact of proposed legislation regarding charitable giving laws; review current regulations that impact charitable giving; and put a finger on the pulse of what else is going on in Washington
  2. Discover the realities of State charitable solicitation regulations that impact all fundraising programs, including an overview of arduous written disclaimer statements that must be published.
