Because most charity Forms 990 are
instantly available on the Internet, they can
be the most important public relations
document. Unfortunately, they can be traps for
the unwary that lead to confusion, serious
adverse publicity, and governmental sanctions.
These sessions will view the new Form 990
from the perspectives of a donor and a
regulator, and discuss best practices for
using the Form as a tool to provide
transparency on a charity's operations. This
2008 IRS Form 990 has changed significantly
from previous versions. Our presenters bring
with them extensive experience in nonprofit
law. The sessions include resources from the
Standards for Excellence program to fully
ensure a positive picture of your
organization.
