Description:
This half-day virtual program will cover a number of current legal
topics of particular import to nonprofit organizations as we navigate
the current climate.
This Institute will cover:
- New York State Attorney General Letitia James will introduce the
discussion of her office’s critical work for New York’s nonprofit
sector. Expert insight into the current processes and priorities of the
Internal Revenue Service and the Charities Bureau of the New York State
Attorney General’s Office, including published guidance by both offices
relating to the COVID-19 crisis.
- Discussion of steps nonprofits can take to diversify their
staff, boards and grantees, which satisfies the recently implemented
diversity and inclusion CLE requirement.
- Important guidance on online fundraising platforms and tools
(such as charity auctions and digital sweepstakes), as COVID-19
accelerates the shift to a virtual fundraising environment.
Who Should Attend: This half-day program is intended to
serve both in-house and outside counsel with a well-developed
background in nonprofit law, but it will also be a useful and
informative session for nonprofit managers as well as lawyers who are
newer to the field and seek to enhance their practice in the nonprofit
sector or their participation on nonprofit boards.
