1.0 Elimination of Bias CLE Credit

As “the new normal” continues to evolve, the legal profession—especially pro bono and legal aid practitioners—have an increasing interest in attorney and client mental health. Low-income people have been devastated by the pandemic. When they come to us for help, these clients are often sharing stress, depression, and other mental health concerns along with their legal issues. Pro bono and legal aid practitioners are best equipped to serve indigent clients when attorneys have tools to support their own mental health, and have knowledge of resources for clients in crisis.

Donor Advised Funds and Proposed Disclosure Requirements in Minnesota

(?)

1.0 Standard CLE Credit

This presentation will give a history and overview of donor advised funds (DAF) and how they are currently regulated. The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits has proposed an amendment to Minnesota’s Supervision of Charitable Trusts and Trustees Act which would require charitable trusts transferring funds to DAFs to include in their annual trust filing with the office of the attorney general an itemized list of all grants and contributions made or approved for future payment during the year from that DAF. The purpose behind this amendment would be to increase transparency and encourage compliance with restrictions on the funds even after transfer.
