December 2018 Cerini Nonprofit Connection
Topic: Legal Issues Nonprofits Need to Know
Speaker Ken Cerini and Guest Speake Melissa Greenberger of Pro Bono Partnership discussed important legal issues for the nonprofit sector including:
• Review your by-laws and certificate of incorporation at least annually
• Make sure you are in compliance with the new Nonprofit Revitalization Act
• Make sure you are in compliance with State regulations in states that you are soliciting contributions
• If you are doing commercial co-ventures, make sure that you have a contract
• If your fundraising includes “gaming” (e.g. bingo, raffles, etc.) visit the NYS Gaming Commission website
• Board members should review and re-sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually …and more!
