Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 123 of EO Radio Show. In today's episode, I welcome back Jennifer Nelson, a Senior Wealth Manager with BNY Mellon. Jennifer and I recorded this episode on Friday, May 9, 2025, and this episode posts on Monday, May 19. The investment world looks quite a bit different today than it did in May of 2024 when Jennifer and I recorded a general investment policy planning episode—and it's even a bit different than just 10 days ago, with the public securities markets continuing to swing up and down, but not quite as dramatically as in early April. When we recorded 10 days ago, Jennifer remarked on the state of the market volatility at the time. While this past week has been a bit calmer, we've also seen new surprises. A major new tax bill came out of Congress, with some potentially dramatic tax implications for foundation endowments—another new factor for investment committees to take into account. And more international talks and agreements developed, with the on-again, off-again tariffs and perhaps stabilizing international agreements on the horizon. Jennifer's remarks provide insights for investment committees and board members during these turbulent times. I hope you'll find some useful tips in today's episode.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 122 of EO Radio Show. This episode on federal tax filing deadlines and penalties was first released in May of 2023. It focuses on the importance of meeting the federal tax filing deadlines that apply to charitable organizations. Most charities exempt from income tax are required to file a federal information return on the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of their fiscal year. For nonprofits that use the calendar year for accounting purposes, that's May 15th. If you haven't filed yet, don't despair. You've got a little bit of time. In this episode, I'll also touch on the penalties that can apply if your organization fails to meet these filing requirement deadlines. So listen in for more information about this important topic.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and today I'm joined by David Sacarelos, a principal at Baker Tilly. We do a deep dive into the penalties under the Internal Revenue Code sections that apply to insider transactions involving private foundations. Using a recently issued IRS Chief Counsel memorandum, we look at the circumstances of loans by a private foundation that led to significant penalties for indirect self-dealing and jeopardizing investments. Show Notes: Cynthia Rowland, Podcast Host, Partner, Farella Braun + Martel David M. Sacarelos, CPA, CGMA, Principal, Baker Tilly US, LLP Chief Counsel Memo 202504014 IRS Form 4720 EO Radio Show #117: REFRESH Nonprofit Basics: Insider Transactions and Nonprofits Farella YouTube podcast channel Clarifying Notes: (17:06) The $20,000 maximum first-tier tax imposed on foundation managers is not indexed for inflation. (20:59) Per Rev. Ruling 78-76, a private foundation trustee was determined to have participated in a self-dealing transaction both as a disqualified person and as a foundation manager. Consequently, he was found liable for both the tax imposed on self-dealing under IRC Sec. 4941(a) and the tax imposed on foundation managers under IRC Sec. 4941(a)(2). Depending on the facts and circumstances, it is possible to be taxed both as foundation manager and as a disqualified person.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. In today's episode, my guests are Dale Schroeder and Anneke Niemira with NewEdge Wealth, and our topic is charitable split-interest trusts. These come in four varieties: charitable lead annuity and unitrusts and charitable remainder annuity and unitrusts, known affectionately as CLATs and CLUTs, and CRATs and CRUTs, which are also further defined sometimes as NI-CRUTs, NIM-CRUTs, and Flip-CRUTs. That's a lot of acronyms. While the technical details are quite a lot to get one's head around, understanding the big idea for each and where each can fit into the investment planning is quite an accessible topic. In this episode, we talk about the big-picture understanding of these planning opportunities for philanthropists and the types of situations where lead trusts make a lot of sense. In next week's episode, Dale, Anneke, and I will dive deeper into the world of charitable remainder trusts and their technical issues and traps for the unwary.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 109 is the third in a series of technical episodes describing the basic principles of the tax on unrelated business income generated by organizations described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). That includes public charities and private foundations. Most listeners are probably aware that 501(c)(3) organizations are generally exempt from income tax, but this does not mean that all income generated by the organization is free of income tax. For most organizations, unrelated business income is defined as income from a trade or business regularly carried on that is not substantially related to the charitable, educational, or other purpose that is the basis for the charity's exemption. In episode 107, I reviewed these defined terms. In episode 108, I explored the modifications to unrelated business taxable income that provide exceptions to income items that would otherwise fall into these definitions that are taxable but instead are categorically excluded because, generally, they constitute passive income. In this last episode in the series, I'll cover the exception to the exceptions for income that is debt-financed and thus generally taxable.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 108 is the second in a series of technical episodes describing the basic principles of the tax on unrelated business income generated by organizations described in Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Most listeners are probably aware that 501(c)(3) organizations are generally exempt from income tax. This does not mean that all income generated by the organization is tax-free. For most organizations, unrelated business income is defined as income from a trade or business, regularly carried on, that is not substantially related to the charitable, educational, or other exempt purpose that is the basis of the organization's tax exemption. In episode 107, I reviewed these defined terms and provided several good examples. In this episode, I'll explore the modifications to unrelated business taxable income that provide exceptions to income items that would otherwise fall into these definitions that are taxable but instead are categorically excluded because, generally, they constitute passive income. In the third episode of the series, I'll cover the exception to the exceptions for income that is debt-financed and thus generally is taxable income.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. As 2024 draws to a close, it seemed to me that this is a good time to share my year-end thoughts on essential annual governance responsibilities for nonprofits and also to check in on other housekeeping that busy nonprofits sometimes overlook, and that could be a good start for nonprofit leaders to put on their list of things to do in the coming year. This episode refreshes the advice in episode 25 from December 2022. Other than updating the years by adding two at each reference, the advice still stands. I hope you find it helpful food for thought as you consider where your organization is on all these compliance matters and what might need to be attended to as this year comes to a close. Or, if you run out of time, these can be the basis for your 2025 New Year's resolutions for your charity.

104: REFRESH: What Nonprofit Leaders Need To Know About the Corporate Transparency Act

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 2, 2024 30:51

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. Episode 104 is a refresh of episode 57, released in October 2022, which addressed the implications of the Corporate Transparency Act for nonprofit organizations, especially those with complex corporate structures that involve business enterprises with outside for-profit investors. In 2021, Congress established a sweeping and perpetual dragnet to aid in the policing of domestic money laundering by passing the Corporate Transparency Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2024. The CTA directs the United States Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to establish and maintain a national registry of beneficial owners of every legal entity formed or registered in the U.S. With certain exceptions, these entities are referred to as reporting companies. The CTA requires reporting companies to make initial and updated disclosures of information relating to the individuals who beneficially own and control the reporting company. Farella partner Greg LeSaint joined me to outline the CTA provisions and walk us through the Farella Braun + Martel Corporate Transparency Act guide, which may help you determine whether an entity in your organization is indeed a reporting company and subject to the CTA's disclosure requirements. When we recorded episode 57, we discussed the original filing deadline for new organizations formed in 2024. There was going to be a 30-day window in 2024 to make any filings for a newly formed company, and Greg noted at the time that there were proposals to extend that to 90 days, which is what happened. So, as you listen to the "refresh," note that the deadline for new organizations formed in 2024 is, in fact, 90 days, not the original 30, but starting January 1, 2025, the filing deadline for organizations reverts to 30 days for the new organizations formed in 2025 and thereafter. Most importantly, for all reporting companies formed before 2024, the deadline for filing with FinCEN is January 1, 2025, which is right around the corner. This "refresh" of episode 57 will provide information to set listeners on the right track for determining which entities are reporting companies and which are exempt.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and today's episode is the third in a series of several critical compliance topics relevant to international grantmaking by U.S. public charities and private foundations. These three rules are anti-terrorism rules, income tax withholding rules, and some special rules for private foundations. All U.S. charitable organizations that make grants to organizations or individuals not resident in the United States need to be aware of a couple of general requirements, and private foundations have an extra set of concerns to ensure that the expenditure by the private foundation outside the United States is not penalized as a taxable expenditure and does count toward the foundation's minimum distribution requirement. This third installment focuses on the special private foundation rules regarding expenditure responsibility and equivalency determination. I also touch on the penalties when there is a footfall or a problem with the international grant. In the first episode of this series, I focused on the Patriot Act rules that apply to all grants, international and domestic. In the second episode, I provided a brief overview of the income tax withholding rules that apply to payments for services and that come into play when making a grant to an international organization that provides some services in the United States.

From time to time, charitable organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) need or want to change their classification, either because they have attained sufficient support to be classified as publicly supported so they don't want to be classified as private foundations, they aren't able to generate sufficient public support to meet the requirements for public charity status, or governance document changes have caused a change in supporting organization classification. Or, in many cases, they were simply misclassified from the outset.

091: REFRESH Nonprofit Basics: Navigating the Complex Rules That Describe a Public Charity

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 12, 2024 18:38

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is the fourth "refresh" of several original episodes published in the summer of 2022. As we near the end of summer, it's a good time to wrap up our revisit of some of our "nonprofit basics" episodes that cover fundamental topics that nonprofit leaders and aspiring leaders need to understand. This refresh of episode #5 is intended to help the founder of a new charity navigate the complex rules that describe a publicly supported charity. Many people think that the designation 501(c)(3) means an organization is a charity, but there is more to it than that. In this episode, I talk about the IRS classifications that distinguish between a public charity and a private foundation. Both of these types of organizations are described in 501(c)(3), but they are subject to very different rules. So, this episode covers the four basic paths to public charity status. Then, we'll close out with some tips for a new organization that intends to qualify for public support based on fundraising from the public or, alternatively, primarily from generating income from their exempt function. Since this episode was first published in 2022, we've added our show to the Farella Braun + Martel YouTube channel. Listeners might want to look over the playlist on our channel that covers all the basics and also our broad coverage of the formation mechanics in many states. Take a look at the show notes for updated links.

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. In Episode 87, Cynthia Rowland covers the rules that apply to a new charitable organization that wants expedited review of its application for recognition of exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS expects to receive 135,000 to 140,000 determination requests in 2024, and most of those requests will take more than six months to be processed. In general, the IRS reviews applications in the order received. New organizations often need that determination letter in order to start fundraising, and six months or more is a serious damper on the ability to launch new entities. This episode will cover the required procedures to follow if an organization wants the IRS to let it jump to the front of the line. Show notes: Expediting Exemption Application Processing: Where to Send Request Addresses: After an application has been filed, a written request for expedited processing must be sent to the following address: Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 2508 Room 6403 Cincinnati, OH 45201 Express mail or a delivery service written request for expedited processing must be sent to the following address: Internal Revenue Service 550 Main Street Room 6403 Cincinnati, OH 45202 You may fax your request to 855-204-6184.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. This Nonprofit Basics episode is the second of a three-part series on election year activities for public charities and private foundations. Part 1 addressed the prohibition on intervention in candidate campaigns for elected office. Part 2 focuses on legislative lobbying activities by public charities. This discussion addresses permitted educational and advocacy activities, the definition of lobbying, and the two different rules that apply to public charity legislative lobbying under the subjective test of Section 501(c)(3) or the elective test for charities that make the 501(h) election, which allows for an objective limitation on lobbying expenditures. Part 3 will address allowed private foundation approaches to advocacy.
