I’ve spent the better part of today catching up on my reading of blogs, email and newsletters and thought I would share some of the choice morsels I have found.
From the Ison Law Group’s blog comes an update on the Family Medical Leave Act regulations. These updated regulations became effective January 16 and it is important that employers that fall under these regulations keep up with any changes that could affect them.
From the Nonprofit Leadership 601 blog comes a calendar of major conferences this year. Heather also writes about an issue close to my heart, funders who ‘get’ nonprofits. Her article lists a couple of funding organizations and how they look at funding the whole organization, not just programs.
Over at the Nonprofit Assistance Fund there was a nice piece on improving our individual financial literacy. Perhaps if we were all smarter about our money we wouldn’t be in such a fiscal mess as a nation? The blog’s most recent post linked to this great piece about steps nonprofits should take now to help get through this financial crises. There is some good advice there.
Guidestar.org had two pieces focusing on the IRS:
- The first is on the IRS’s work plan for 2009. The agenda for this year seems to be on compliance issues, but look further down the page for what thier new initiatives will be including a focus on charitable spending and gifts-in-kind issues.
- The second piece talks about the 990-N, the electronic post card that small nonprofits use for reporting to the IRS. The IRS estimates that almost half a million organizations could loose their nonprofit status because they have neglected to file the form. Read the article for more.
