Many nonprofits use games, such as raffles or BINGO, as a fun, buzzworthy way to raise funds for the organization. In Georgia, we have some very clear laws that govern fundraising activities, such as raffles, door prizes and BINGO. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Thomas Federico with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta will chat with us about what these rules are, why they exist, and some important considerations to help your nonprofit determine how to navigate raffle regulations.
Handling client grievances effectively is critical for any nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality services and support. Client complaints, whether about services provided, program procedures, staff, or facilities, can impact your nonprofit’s reputation and effectiveness. Ideally, your organization has a grievance policy to ensure a clear, fair process for addressing concerns. In case your organization does not have a written policy, this article explores best practices for managing client grievances.

Fundraising Compliance: Understanding Charitable Solicitation Requirements
In addition to registering for tax-exempt status with the IRS and forming your corporation with the state, did you know that your charity should register for “charitable solicitation?” Nonprofits have significant obligations to register in states where they ask for money. These rules can be traps for the wary. During this one hour webinar, our speakers help nonprofits understand who needs to register to solicit donations and how to determine which states to register.
