Congress Seeks to Restrain IRS on “Dark Money” Schedule B Donor Disclosures
December 14, 2018
Are tax-exempt organizations required to disclose their major donors on their IRS Form 990 Schedule B’s, or not? In July 2018, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2018-38, answering “no” for Section 501(c)(4) and other tax-exempt organizations, but leaving the disclosure requirement intact for Section 501(c)(3) organizations and Section 527 political action committees (known as PACs).

Board Member and Volunteer Liability: The Case of RoxComp
12/12/2018
Nonprofit Quarterly Volunteers are a critical part of the way nonprofit organizations do business. We rely on them to perform tasks that range from the menial (stuffing envelopes for a direct mail appeal) to highly skilled (offering pro bono legal assistance at a clinic). Volunteers are part of the way that nonprofits can do their work at lower-than-market costs, and so provide the social safety net. To encourage their involvement, nonprofits, states, and the federal government provide ways for volunteers to be held harmless when something goes wrong. A case in Massachusetts is showing there might be limitations to that protection, and the board president might be personally liable for unpaid employee wages.
