GOV2106. Impact of Pandemic Fundraising Strategies on 990 and Financial Reporting

With nonprofits quickly pivoting their fundraising strategies in light of the pandemic, many may not have called their accountant or attorney for advice about tax, financial reporting and other ramifications.  Changes were often made quickly to survive financially with little concern for other issues.  Now, a year in, reporting deadlines are steadily coming due.  Organizations and their advisors are finding time to refocus on risk management, reporting and compliance responsibilities.  This session will explore what we are seeing as the biggest trends in fundraising by organizations, along with the tax, financial reporting and compliance issues that need to be considered.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss current trends in nonprofit fundraising practices and charitable giving
• Discuss tax, financial reporting and other compliance issues implicated by nonprofit fundraising strategies
• Review risk managment strategies advisors to nonprofits can implement with their clients
• Review strategies advisors to nonprofits can take to identify risks implicated by fundraising strategies
