Political Activities
Preview Available
Identification: NOT1838
With the midterm election cycle in full swing, 2018 promises to be an active year on the political front. Tax-exempt organizations may engage in political activities without even knowing it. For 501(c)(3) organizations, the result can be loss of exemption. Other organizations, like 501(c)(4)s and 501(c)(6)s, may engage in such activities either directly or through a related or unrelated PAC, but they are subject to limits, reporting obligations, and possible excise taxes under federal tax law. Organizations must also navigate different definitions and requirements for reporting under campaign finance laws, to the FEC or state authorities.
This session will help attendees identify what constitutes political activity for tax law purposes, assess the tax or other impact to various tax-exempt organizations, and properly report such activity on Form 990 and Form 1120-POL.

It goes without saying that funding is needed to accomplish mission. However, funding continues to be a nonprofit organization's greatest challenge, and "No, Thank You!" may in fact just be the best answer to a funding opportunity. Join three nonprofit professionals in setting the path to a funding strategy that strengthens your organization, rather than depletes it. Strategic considerations in this discussion will include:
-Is there a match between the funding level and expected results?
-Is it time to exit a program rather than keep it alive?
-Does the funding increase our diversification strategy?
-Is this opportunity in line with our gift acceptance policy?
This session will leave participants with the confidence to just say "No" to certain funding.
