Webinar: Nonprofit Law: Year in Review – Dec 11

Posted by PA Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) on December 3, 2024

It has been a significant year in nonprofit law. And next year may be even more significant.

Join Nonprofit Issues® editor and long-time PA nonprofit attorney Don Kramer for his annual review of what happened this year and what to expect coming up, including:

• Challenges are pending on the Constitutionality of the Johnson Amendment prohibiting charity electioneering and the validity of the requirement for Schedule B of the Form 990. The debate about donor advised funds continues.
• We now have a current judicial definition of how much electioneering is permitted for 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations. It could change the role of “dark money” in politics. But will it make any difference?
• Changes to the Tax Code next year could significantly affect contributions and the climate for giving, which was significantly changed by the last big tax bill.
• What is happening with higher education? Has the Ivy League really broken America? Will their endowments be taxed more heavily because of it?
• Will nonprofits be prohibited from advancing diversity, equity and inclusion? Several courts and organizations have spoken.
• On corporate governance, there have been key developments in indemnification, membership rights and fiduciary duties. Whatever happened to the National Rifle Association?
• With charitable trusts, several cases have affected trustee rights and obligations and the ability of a beneficiary to terminate a charitable trust because of trustee fees.
• On charitable solicitation registration, we used to say there were registration requirements in 39 states and the District of Columbia. Now it is only 38 states and the District of Columbia. Why and how are the requirements for registration changing?
• Can a fundraiser be stopped from using donor information gained with one charity when working for a new organization on the grounds that the donor information is a trade secret?
• Does the Corporate Transparency Act affect nonprofits?
• Pennsylvania has begun to enforce a new annual registration requirement. What must nonprofits do and what happens if they don’t?
• What is happening in nonprofit journalism?
