New Board Members Beware! Or 6 ways your organization can lose its tax exemption (without really trying)

Event Description

If you are attending remotely, deadline to register is Wednesday, July 27. 

It’s easy for a charitable organization to maintain its tax exempt status – and it can be just as easy to lose it. Attorneys representing nonprofits need to develop a functional understanding of how nonprofits differ from for-profit entities. This session will broadly examine the 6 major areas where nonprofits get into trouble, including private benefit / private inurement; lobbying; political campaign activity; unrelated business income; annual reporting obligations and tax exempt purpose. Attorneys will come away with a better understanding of the red flag issues to watch out for.

Lunch will be provided for this CLE.
