Have you or your organization been approached with a generous in-kind offer but aren’t sure how to properly document it? The five “conflict doctrines” are among the most misunderstood and misapplied doctrines in nonprofit and tax-exempt law. Nonprofit leaders (and their advisors) often tend towards one of two extremes: avoiding anything that could even “smell like” a conflict (and thus missing some great opportunities for the organization) or ignoring the doctrines altogether (and thus failing to follow the rules that would permit the arrangement). The middle ground is the best and safest course.
A good nonprofit leader or advisor will lean on the generosity of key stakeholders and donors who might be willing to provide a discounted rate for good or services, but will do so only after documenting the permissibility of such transactions. In this important webinar, acclaimed nonprofit attorney Zachary S. Kester will show nonprofit leaders how their organizations can benefit from in-kind donations without running afoul of the law.
