Picture this: your nonprofit has been diligently working towards its mission, making a positive impact in your community, and enjoying the benefits of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. But one day you receive a letter from the IRS telling you that your organization's 501(c)(3) status has been revoked. What do you do next? Join us. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Robyn Miller will guide us through the steps a nonprofit needs to take if its tax-exempt status is revoked.
How can a nonprofit employer minimize the effects an employee’s leave of absence has on your nonprofit’s work, while still providing the time away from work your employee needs? At a minimum, nonprofits should have leave policies to inform and guide both managers and employees. But even with clear policies, handling extended leave requests under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act can be challenging for an employer to navigate. This article from Venable includes guidance for employers assessing employee requests for extended leave.
Building a Better Board: Strong Boards Have Strong Policies
Nonprofit directors generally join the board because they are passionate about the mission of the organization. That’s a great place to start, but enthusiasm and passion must be paired with strong governance to enhance the growth of the mission. In this talk we will discuss governance generally and the policies boards should have in place to facilitate their support of the missions around which they are passionate.
We will discuss:
• The fiduciary obligations of the board
• The policy and procedures that are necessary for strong governance
• The board governance structure to implement policies and procedures.
