Study Released by Nonprofit VOTE and the Michigan Nonprofit Association

Charitable Tax Credit Update
Tax reform legislation was passed by the Senate on May 12 and hours later, the House concurred in the Senate version of the bill, sending it to Governor Rick Snyder for his signature. The bill eliminates the charitable tax credit, replaces the Michigan Business Tax with a 6 percent corporate income tax, and taxes pensions. The vote on the main bill, HB 4361, was 20-19 with Lt. Governor Brian Calley casting the tie-breaking vote.

AFP Webinar
How to Raise More Money By Selling Social Impact
|
 Tuesday, June 21, 20111:00 to 2:30 PM Northwestern Michigan College University Center, room 5 Jason Saul, CEO of Mission Measurement LLC Fee: $10 This webinar can only be accessed from NMC University Center, room 209 Why does it cost nonprofits $20 for every $100 raised, when companies spend $4 for every $100 raised? The answer is that we may well be raising money from the wrong people. Most nonprofits focus on selling the "psychic benefits" of our work to donors and foundations who have no direct stake in our outcomes. Today, we need to offer more than "feel good" if we want to create leverage. This webinar teaches nonprofits how to convert their good work into high value outcomes and how to identify a new set of stakeholders who directly value and are willing to pay for those outcomes. Entry to mid-level practitioners, volunteers, and board members. [ REGISTER TODAY] |
