In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, we take a closer look at the recent bankruptcy of Flipcause and what it means for the nonprofit community. Join our conversation with attorney John Mills and nonprofit executive director Erin Campbell to unpack what happened, how nonprofits were impacted, and the lessons learned. We’ll also discuss practical steps nonprofits can take to better protect from similar risks. If your organization relies on third-party tools for fundraising, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
Many nonprofit organizations are concerned that they may face increased federal government scrutiny of their tax-exempt status. There have been a number of recent executive orders and presidential memorandums that could impact how organizations are viewed by federal agencies. These developments may place some nonprofits at greater risk of audits which, in the most severe cases, could jeopardize an organization’s 501(c)(3) status. While it is not yet clear whether or how this increased scrutiny will occur, this legal alert by Darrell Smelcer and David Kumins explains some of the consequences for an organization whose 501(c)(3) status has been revoked.
