Horror Stories: Scary 501c3s and How NOT to Be One

WEDNESDAY, October 16
5:30 – 6:45 PM EST

In-person

This workshop will cover what 501(c)(3) nonprofits need to know to avoid scary situations. We will review “horror stories” that have been in the news and use them as learning tools. Are you afraid that there may be IRS requirements and restrictions you are unaware of? We’ll cover:

  • Reporting: what does the IRS require from us every year?
  • What kinds of activities can get our nonprofit in trouble?
  • Fundraising: What’s allowed?
  • Spending Restrictions: Are some types of spending prohibited for a 501(c)(3)?
