All too often, capitalism is identified with the for-profit sector. However, one organizational form whose importance is often overlooked is nonprofits. Roughly 4% of the American economy, including most universities and hospital systems, are nonprofit.One prominent nonprofit currently at the center of a raging debate is OpenAI, the $300 billion American artificial intelligence research organization best known for developing ChatGPT. Founded in 2015 as a donation-based nonprofit with a mission to build AI for humanity, it created a complex “hybrid capped profit” governance structure in 2019. Then, after a dramatic firing and re-hiring of CEO Sam Altman in 2023 (covered on an earlier episode of Capitalisn't: “Who Controls AI?”), a new board of directors announced that achieving OpenAI's mission would require far more capital than philanthropic donations could provide and initiated a process to transition to a for-profit public benefit corporation. This process has been fraught with corporate drama, including one early OpenAI investor, Elon Musk, filing a lawsuit to stop the process and launching a $97.4 billion unsolicited bid for OpenAI's nonprofit arm.Beyond the staggering valuation numbers at stake here–not to mention OpenAI's open pursuit of profits over the public good–are complicated legal and philosophical questions. Namely, what happens when corporate leaders violate the founding purpose of a firm? To discuss, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Rose Chan Loui, the founding executive director of the Lowell Milken Center on Philanthropy and Nonprofits at UCLA Law and co-author of the paper "Board Control of a Charity's Subsidiaries: The Saga of OpenAI.” Is OpenAI a “textbook case of altruism vs. greed,” as the judge overseeing the case declared? Is AI for everyone, or only for investors? Together, they discuss how money can distort purpose and philanthropy, precedents for this case, where it might go next, and how it may shape the future of capitalism itself.Show Notes:Read extensive coverage of the Musk-OpenAI lawsuit on ProMarket, including Luigi's article from March 2024: “Why Musk Is Right About OpenAI.”Guest Disclosure (provided to The Conversation for an op-ed on the case): The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in, or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article. They have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and in today's episode, I'll touch on the steps necessary to withdraw the registration from the California Registry of Charitable Trusts of a nonprofit that is a foreign corporation. In episode 49, I covered the dissolution of a domestic California nonprofit corporation and the procedures necessary to accomplish the withdrawal of that type of entity. Part of that process includes notification to the California Attorney General's office of the circumstances of the dissolution and a request for the Attorney General to permit the dissolution of the California nonprofit. When a foreign nonprofit dissolves, or if it simply wishes to withdraw from California, the foreign nonprofit also has to reach out to the California Registry of Charitable Trusts and follows certain similar procedures to withdraw effectively.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 49 of EO Radio Show summarizes the steps to wind up a charity that is a nonprofit corporation registered and operating in California. There are federal and state income tax considerations to address and organizational formalities, which are slightly different depending on whether the charity is organized as a nonprofit, public benefit corporation, or charitable trust. Our focus today is on the California nonprofit public benefit corporation that is registered with the California Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts. We're going to talk about the path it needs to take as it winds up and dissolves. Resources: General Guide for Dissolving a California Nonprofit Corporation Termination of the organization also needs to be provided to the IRS.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Many nonprofit organizations are required to have their financial statements audited by an independent certified public accountant. For example, a nonprofit charity that is required to be registered with the California Registry of Charitable Trusts and which has gross revenues of $2 million or more in a fiscal year must obtain an independent audit. They also must certify to the California Attorney General each year the amount of revenue received and that they have obtained an independent audit. Many other states have similar requirements. Today I'm delighted to be joined by Certified Public Accountant Douglas Cook, who will address frequently asked questions for charities facing their first audit and some unique situations that often surprise his clients.

Section 11 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 inter alia exempts the income of a registered Trust, earned from property held under Trust, while Section 13 of the Act contains certain anti-abuse provisions to deny exemption upon certain applications of the Trust income. Where any part of Trust income is applied / invested directly or indirectly, for the benefit of specified person is violative of Section 13(1)(c) while investment of any part of Trust income other than in public sector company or modes specified under Section 11(5) is violative of Section 13(1)(d).This podcast firstly addresses the controversy regarding the expansiveness of Section 13(4). Notably, Section 13(1)(c) and Section 13(1)(d) function as independent bars on Section 11 exemption. Section 13(4) has been drafted in such a manner that any protection guaranteed by Section 13(4) may relax requirements of Section 13(1)(c), but Section 13(1)(d) will continue to apply towards any exempted income under Section 11.The other issue addressed by the podcast is pertaining to historical disputes around the denial of exemption vide Section 13, i.e., whether violation of Section 13 results in denial of exemption under Section 11 in toto, or only to the extent of such violation. Conflicting judicial views persisted on either position of law. The Finance Act 2022 seeks to put an end to this conflicting view by clarifying that only that part of income which has been applied / invested in violation of the Section 13(1)(c) / Section 13(1)(d) shall be liable to denial of Section 11 exemption and be taxable under the newly introduced Section 115BBI of the Act.Audio Source: An article published on the LKS website in February 2023.Taxation of unexempt income of Public Charitable TrustsAuthors: Samyak Navedia , Associate LKS,

Let's say someone decides to make charitable gifting a new year's resolution. What makes this resolution easier to keep than others?Most resolutions are about reducing negative behaviors.Eating too much, spending too much, watching too much Netflix.It's tough when you go about changing or eliminating a negative behavior.But when you focus your resolution on increasing positive behaviors, such as community involvement or charitable gifting, your success rate will be higher.You'll feel great about it and, with charitable gifting, there can be some significant financial advantages, too.How can someone get started on this and know it's right for them?Getting started is easy.Think about non-profits you like to give to.What causes are you passionate about?And think about how much you want to give and how often.And if you want to do it individually or have your family involved.Once you've thought about these basics, then a chat with your wealth management advisor can help you figure out a strategy for gifting.There are a lot of different approaches to charitable gifting? What are some of the most common ways?Let's talk about two of the simplest ways.One, of course, is giving cash gifts to organizations you support.You can make a resolution to make regular donations or a one-time donation.And if it's a qualified charitable organization then you're entitled to a tax deduction against your income taxes.And you can easily check to see if a charitable organization is qualified or not.There's a website charitynavigator.org can tell you if your donation will be tax deductible or not.The second easiest way, after cash gifts, is to make qualified distributions from a retirement account directly to your charitable organization.If you have an IRA, for example, and are at least 70 and a half years old, you can contribute some or all of your IRA to charity.The upside – at 70 and a half you're required to take distributions anyway and the donation will not be taxed.So you get to take your required distribution without realizing any tax burden.What about Donor Advised Funds? Those are set up just for charitable purposes, right? That's right.A Donor Advised Fund is an account that's like an investment account but set up for charitable purposes.The big advantage here is there are no rules on how much you give or which organizations you give to, as long as it's charitable.And your gifts earn you an immediate tax deduction.But it's not for everyone. Your wealth management advisor can tell you more, but a DAF is best for someone if you have an event – such as selling a business – that creates a large tax obligation.If that's the case, you can set up a DAF to receive the funds and distribute them to charity for a larger and immediate tax deduction.With a DAF you want to work with your wealth management advisor and really let your advisor manage the account under your direction.And then that leads us to things like Charitable Trusts and Foundations and taking more of a family approach to charitable giving.Yes, both of those approaches take a longer term “family legacy” approach to charitable gifting.There are a lot of different types of charitable trusts and you need to carefully select a type, with your advisor's help, that matches your goals.A charitable remainder trust is a very common type.With it, you set money aside in your lifetime and when you pass away the remaining money is gifted to one or more charitable organizations.The trust can create a stream of income for yourself during your lifetime, give you a partial tax deduction – based on the anticipated eventual gift – and reduce estate taxes when you pass away.A private foundation takes things a step further.On the upside, with a private foundation, there are expanded giving opportunities.You can make grants to individuals or non-charitable organizations.Giving becomes more strategic and more focused on a cause or ways to make an impact.But the time commitment, regulatory requirements and costs associated with a private foundation often steer people back to a Donor Advised Fund.Which can be created and managed much more easily.And that sounds like a key for keeping a New Year's Resolution.Without a doubt.That and picking a cause or charity that's close to your heart.Useful info/linksFNBO: https://www.fnbo.com/insights/wealth/make-charitable-giving-your-new-years-resolution/index.htmlHow Stuff Works: https://money.howstuffworks.com/economics/volunteer/starting-a-charity/charitable-trust.htmNational Charitable Endowment: https://nationalcharitable.org/donor-advised-funds-basics/
For charitably inclined business owners, charitable trusts provide many benefits as they assess goals related to tax planning, wealth management, estate planning, and charitable giving. Charitable trusts can help you set aside current and future funds for a charity while preserving a current income stream and other economic benefits. When you make a transfer into one of these trust types, you may qualify for income, estate, and gift tax charitable deductions. In this episode of The First Business Bank Podcast, our Private Wealth Trust Advisors discuss the types of charitable trusts, benefits charitable trusts offer regarding capital gains and estate tax, planning ahead before a sale or business transition, and partners you should include in setting up a charitable trust.
In today's episode of "Around with Randall", we are discussing charitable trusts and bargain sales. They sound complicated, but I promise, they aren't. Listen to this podcast to learn more about these instruments and how your nonprofit can leverage them.
We have over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities in this country!!!! In today's Better Wealth Breakdown, Dan and I discuss a concept in the book “Managing Foundations and Charitable Trusts” by Roger Silk that Social Security is a Government Sponsored Ponzi Scheme. Listen as Dan and I dive into the history of Social Security, how it was established, the seven reasons why it is like a ponzi scheme, the three reasons why it is different and what the future of social security might look like in the future. Social Security is like a Ponzi Schemes for these 7 components; 1.) great investment for early investors, 2.) it pays existing investors using funds from new investors 3.) Lack of easy transparency 4.) misapplication of investor funds 5.) funds invested with a related party 6.) the related party is unlikely to ever pay the funds back in real terms and 7.) no outside audit. However, it is different for these three reasons 1.) The sponsor, the U.S. government, can and does compel people to pay into it 2.) The sponsor, the U.S. government, has the ability to simply print the money to pay the benefits and finally 3.) The sponsor, the U.S. government, can and does change the rules in the middle of the game. Listen as we discuss the differences of contributions and taxes with social security, unfunded liabilities, how it works for the future. #BETTERWEALTH For more information on BetterWealth or the content you hear on the Podcast visit us at http://www.betterwealth.com/podcast (www.betterwealth.com/podcast).

In this episode of The Lange Money Hour, Jim gives his listeners the most important advice offered in his newest book, The Ultimate Retirement and Estate Plan for Your Million-Dollar IRA. The Ultimate Retirement and Estate Plan for Your Million-Dollar IRA, provides clear and specific solutions to current tax issues regarding retirement plans, but perhaps more importantly, looks ahead to upcoming legislative actions that could reduce the value of your IRA. Those distressing changes, something we call “The Death of the Stretch IRA,” could cost your family hundreds of thousands, or potentially, millions of additional tax dollars over your children’s lives. Jim will focus on the 6 main themes in the book that will help you decide how to prepare for the probable “Death of the Stretch IRA” and how to grow your retirement nest egg, and keep it out of Uncle Sam’s hands: • Pay taxes later (except for the Roth) when working and when planning for your estate. • The benefits of Roth IRA conversions. • The most flexible estate plan for married couples. • Make gifts that grow tax-free including 529 plans and life insurance. • Charitable Trusts as the beneficiary of your IRA that could give your children more life-long income. • The grand slam - combining winning tax strategies with low-cost investing.
