Description: This premier program convenes leading legal and accounting professionals to examine the latest statutory, regulatory, and judicial developments shaping the landscape for tax-exempt organizations. Through a series of engaging discussions and expert analyses, participants will gain practical insights into critical updates as well as forward-looking trends affecting the nonprofit sector. The following are among the key topics this program covers:
- Implementation and impact of 2025’s new and upcoming EO tax rules
- State and local non-income taxes
- Best practices for launching and sustaining nonprofits to ensure compliance and maximize mission impact
- Insurance considerations for tax-exempt organizations
- Strategies for nonprofit distress relief
- The benefits and challenges of being “related” to a tax-exempt organization
In addition to equipping practitioners with the latest technical knowledge, this program highlights practical strategies for advising clients, managing compliance obligations, and enhancing organizational resilience. While indispensable for attorneys and CPAs working directly with tax-exempt entities, the program also provides valuable insights for professionals in related fields, including commercial and consumer law, corporate and business law, and lobbying.
