Individual giving is not just for large nonprofits. It can work for all of us! Do you want greater returns in your fundraising efforts? This workshop will take you through key self-assessment tools you can use in a tight economy to sustain and build your base of individual donors throughout the year.
You will take the first steps to learning how to:
“Lead with your mission” to dispel your board members’ fear of asking for money. Transform your program events to draw in potential donors and to deepen your connections with existing supporters. Move new friends through the sequence of stranger-friend-donor-solicitor. Turn providers of in-kind support and advice into donors. Engage with your supporters year-round, not just when it is time to ask for money. Discover the power of your staff, board and even clients to bring you new contacts and resources.
More information and online registration, or call 212-502-4191 ext. 30 to register by phone.
Pre-registration is required for this FREE workshop. Reserve your spot today! This event is expected to reach capacity.
Shared Webinars are educational opportunities presented by our sister associations in the National Council of Nonprofits network. Shared Webinars are open to the public, but Center for Non-Profits members can participate in at discounted rates! See the instructions for each event for more information.

Avoiding the Adverse Consequences of UBIT: Planning, Revising and Restructuring
Date: Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Time:
1:30pm - 2:30pm (EST)
Cost: $62 Center members; $89 Non-members
(Center Members SHOULD CALL our office to receive the discount code)
Hosted by: Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations
Presenter: Don Kramer, Esq., Editor of Nonprofit Issues
Financially squeezed nonprofits often seek to generate new revenue through new business ventures. But such efforts can carry serious legal, as well as economic, risks. This webinar will explore the unrelated business income tax (“UBIT”), how to define it, how to avoid it, and how to deal with the consequences of having “too much” of it.
Regularly badgered by Congress to limit “unfair” competition with for-profit businesses, the Internal Revenue Service consistently looks to impose UBIT on unrelated business taxable income at nonprofit organizations, including facility rentals and travel tours at large institutions like colleges and universities, revenue from joint ventures with for-profits, gift shop income from museums, investment income from anyone’s margin account, advertising revenue from small nonprofit organization newsletters, and everything in between.
Nonprofits with substantial unrelated business income will have to pay substantial unrelated business income tax — and could even lose their tax-exempt status.
This session will give tips on structuring activities to avoid the revenue being classified as unrelated business income, allocating expenses to reduce net income, and restructuring to avoid the adverse consequences of “too much” of a winning commercial venture. Who Should Attend: Executive Directors, Board Members, Consultants, Attorneys and others interested in a better understanding of UBIT.

Special Free Recording Opportunity
Don’t Leave Money on the Table:
Understanding (and Fixing) the Rules for Claiming Indirect Costs on Contracts and Grants
Recording available for Center members!
It’s a documented fact: Non-profit organizations typically do not get paid the full cost of providing services under government contracts and grants, and a major part of that problem is unreimbursed indirect, or administrative, costs. Sometimes non-profits don’t know what they are entitled to bill the government, while other times government policies unfairly short-change non-profit providers.
This webinar, presented on April 19, 2012 by the Center for Non-Profits and the National Council of Nonprofits, was developed to explore both of these issues – how to receive all of the money you are due and how to fix the unfair rules. It provides contract-management advice from nonprofit experts, and include presentations from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO), is applicable both to direct federal contracts/grants as well as pass-throughs. It is designed for busy nonprofit officials who want to:
- learn the basics of negotiating and recouping indirect costs
- get answers to key questions, and
- tell OMB directly about their experiences in the government-nonprofit contracting system.
The webinar is very timely because OMB is reviewing reform proposals and needs to understand the problems that nonprofits encounter.
Through our association with the National Council of Nonprofits, Center for Non-Profits members can access a recording of the webinar FREE of charge. Availability is time-limited, so act soon!
- To receive the link for a FREE recording, contact the Center at 732-227-0800 or email us at center@njnonprofits.org (be sure to put "GAO Webinar" in the subject line).
- If you're not already a Center member, now's the perfect time to join! Once you've enrolled, we'll send you the recording link.
