IRS seeks comment on redesigned Form 990

 

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released Announcement 2011-36  on June 2, seeking public comments related to transitional issues and frequently asked questions involving the redesigned Form 990. Specifically, the IRS is asking for input on 11 issues that have come up over the past couple of filing seasons including: the adoption of an activities coding system, how payments to third parties should be reported, and whether some or all of the compensation reporting thresholds for key officers and employees should be lowered, raised, or retained as is. Comments are due to the IRS by August 1.

How to Raise More Money By Selling Social Impact

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.
