Interview with Jim Starr, President and CEO of America's Charities, about the organization's mission to “mobilize the power of giving” through workplace giving, corporate volunteering programs, emergency assistance funds, and scholarships. They explain the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)—founded in 1961, once raising $280M in 2009 but down to $68M from about 70,000 donors in 2024—its shift from paper catalogs to an online platform, and factors behind its decline, including new charity fees, government shutdowns, and workforce morale; retiree giving is noted as a bright spot. Starr says OPM has paused or signaled possible cancellation, shut down the reporting portal, and has not opened 2026 applications, raising concern the CFC may end and that much of the $70M would not be replaced due to payroll giving's low-friction nature. Starr also highlights America's Charities reaching $1B in total funds processed to nonprofits and describes how emergency assistance funds provide confidential, tax-free grants for employee hardships and how the organization administers scholarship programs with vetting and fraud checks. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:57 Mission and Services 01:50 Origins in the CFC 04:12 CFC Decline and Drivers 05:53 Is the CFC Ending 09:02 Fees and Participation Basics 09:56 Rebrand Joke and Real Stakes 11:42 Why Payroll Giving Matters 13:39 Billion Dollar Milestone 16:56 Emergency Assistance Funds 18:02 How EAFs Work 19:45 Privacy and Employer Benefits 20:41 Who Should Offer EAFs 21:00 Who Uses Emergency Funds 22:15 Retention And Community Impact 24:56 Direct Giving Versus GoFundMe 26:29 Life After The CFC 29:03 Expanding Corporate Philanthropy 29:50 Scholarship Program Walkthrough 33:17 Pricing And Review Workflow 35:13 Fraud Checks In The AI Era 37:17 Billion Dollar Milestone Wrap  

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 148 of EO Radio Show. Here we are, solidly into the 2026 election year, and that means private foundations should refresh their understanding of election‑year issues for organizations that want to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), and avoid the onerous private‑foundation excise taxes that come into play if a private foundation uses its funds for impermissible legislative lobbying. This week's episode is a refresh of the show's episode 8, originally released in 2022. For more information on related election‑year issues, you may want to go back to episode 146 for the commentary on candidate campaign intervention, or episode 147 if your interest is in what public charities may do in the lobbying arena. Episode 147 refreshed an earlier episode that focused on allowable educational and advocacy activities for public charities, including a discussion of the definition of lobbying and the two different rules that apply to public charities. Finally, be sure to check out the show notes for resources from the IRS on these topics, and the Farella Braun + Martel YouTube channel for the complete EO Radio Show playlist.

Illinois State Senator Darby Hills joins host David From to share her path from prosecutor to community advocate—and now, as one of just 19 Republicans in the Illinois Senate, fighting to bring transparency and accountability back to Springfield. Darby explains why Illinois doesn't have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem—and describes what she saw as a new senator: major bills and the state budget dropped with little time to review, late-night votes, and decisions made behind closed doors. She also talks about her work outside government, including founding Barrington Children's Charities to help feed hundreds of kids each week and provide critical services like dental care, mental health support, and eyeglasses. From criminal justice to fiscal responsibility, Darby lays out the “kitchen table” priorities that shaped her—watching her single mom work two jobs and sort bills at home—and the reforms she's pushing now: independent audits, cutting waste, reducing red tape on small businesses, keeping young people in Illinois, and supporting law enforcement to make communities safer.

Send a textThe Nonprofit Show launches its Global Edition with cohosts Julia C. Patrick and Matthew Murray (CEO, Expand PR / Expand Consultancy), taking listeners inside what it really looks like to start and operate a charity/NGO in the United Kingdom—and why global expansion is as much a business decision as it is a mission decision.Matthew opens with the on-the-ground reality that “every culture has its own nuances… laws and rules,” and that expanding beyond your home country requires leaders to respect local norms, donor behaviors, and governance expectations. The conversation quickly turns practical: Do Brits give? Matthew says yes—substantially—while noting economic pressures have shifted donor patterns. He also explains a key difference for revenue strategy: the UK doesn't mirror U.S.-style donor tax deductions, but it does offer Gift Aid, where government adds funding to eligible donations. As Matthew describes it, “25 pence for every pound donated,” meaning a £100 gift can become £125 for the charity—an important lever for fundraising planning, messaging, and cash forecasting.On governance and transparency, the UK's Charity Commission functions as a dedicated regulator for charities. Matthew emphasizes the public nature of filings and the reputational impact of being late or sloppy with reporting—because funders, partners, and major donors look. In the UK, board members are typically called trustees, are usually unpaid, and cannot be paid for the trustee role itself (though they may be compensated for a separate job). For organizations with global ambitions, Matthew shares a strategic advantage: non-UK residents can serve as trustees in Britain, which can simplify governance when launching a UK-based entity.The global discussion also contrasts donor culture. Matthew suggests UK donors may give differently than U.S. donors—often less driven by “momentary adrenaline” and more oriented toward longer-term loyalty—reinforcing the value of relationship, credibility, and consistency. Julia adds a caution for international leaders: expansion fails fast when it arrives with a “we'll fix you” mindset. The Global Edition's promise is clear: practical global learning that helps nonprofit executives expand responsibly, protect integrity, and build durable support across borders.#NonprofitBusiness #GlobalPhilanthropy #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 147 of EO Radio Show. As most listeners are undoubtedly aware, 2026 is an election year. Charities and private foundations should refresh their understanding of election‑year issues to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). This week's episode is a refresh of the show's episode 7, originally released in 2022. Today's focus is on allowable educational and advocacy activities for public charities, including a discussion of the definition of lobbying and the two rules that apply to them. The first rule we'll discuss is the subjective test under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). And the second alternative—the elective test for charities that make the 501(h) election—allows for an objective limitation on lobbying expenditures. For more information on related election issues, listeners may want to go back to last week's episode—that's episode 146—which covered the limitations in 501(c)(3) relating to candidate campaign intervention. And stay tuned for episode 148, addressing permissible private foundation policy advocacy activities, which differ from what is allowed for 501(c)(3) organizations classified as public charities. Finally, be sure to check out the show notes for resources from the IRS on these topics.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. We're starting 2026 the way I always start election years, with a reminder to leadership of charities and private foundations to refresh their understanding of election-year issues for those organizations that want to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). This year, there is an update I want to call out regarding a court case in Texas and proposed federal legislation that could change the scope of the prohibition on candidate intervention by certain kinds of charities.  In the next few weeks, we'll refresh EO Radio Show episodes seven and eight, which address legislative lobbying by public charities and private foundations, also likely to be very hot topics in 2026. Be sure to check out the show notes for resources from the IRS on these topics as well.  Show Notes: Farella Webinar: Election Year Issues for Private Foundations and Public Charities Bolder Advocacy Resource Library IRS Chart: Common Tax Law Restrictions on Activities of Exempt Organizations Treasury Regulation 53.4945-3, Voter Registration Drives Instructions for IRS Form 8940, Request for Miscellaneous Determinations, used to obtain advance approval of certain voter registration drives under IRC 4945(f) Eastern District of Texas homepage (includes direct links to ECF/PACER and to govinfo Opinions for E.D.
