With nonprofits beginning to get back to more “normal” modes of operation, it has been a tumultuous year for nonprofit legal issues, from changes in governance to changes in legal requirements. Join Nonprofit Issues® editor Don Kramer for his annual review of the year in nonprofit law, including topics like:

• New concerns about governance
• Funding reaction to COVID
• A changed attitude toward nonprofits in Congress
• Donor Advised Funds, where courts continue to uphold rights of sponsors while critics propose significant new legislation to speed up distributions to operating charities
• Charitable Solicitation Law, where Schedule B can no longer be required for registration and California begins the process of regulating “Fundraising Platforms”
• The status of organizations under siege, like the National Rifle Association and the Boy Scouts of America
• The role of a “Corporation Sole” in the nonprofit world
• An expansion of the “ministerial exception” in employment law
• The definition of a “disqualified person” in an excess benefit case
• A limitation on a waiver and release for a charity bike ride
• Cases in which the structure of the organization did not properly answer the question of “whose organization is it?"
• Continued issues of standing to sue a nonprofit
• The inability of a Pennsylvania city to impose a business privilege tax on nonprofits
• The continued expansion of nonprofit journalism
• And much more!

Nonprofits of all types and sizes are welcome to participate! Join the discussion with your own comments or questions.
