Description:

John Taylor returns with aasp’s most popular webinar! In keeping with custom, John will address legal issues related to charitable gift solicitation, acceptance, recording, and receipting. He will review the FundSvcs archives and his email folders to identify the most common questions from the past year.

John has agreed to start by reviewing a list of IRS Publications and website links that no practitioner’s library should be without. After that, he will discuss the 2027 quid pro quo rules, including related DAF rules (and bifurcation). Other planned topics include IRA distributions (QCDs & RMDs), corporate sponsorships, "mandatory” internships, and a few of the most common questions discussed on FundSvcs. Finally, he will answer any related questions you have!

Learning Objectives:

  • To help newer (and remind older!) Advancement Services professionals understand the numerous legislative requirements impacting our work, the session also offers an opportunity to explore complex issues and increasing intricacies that can influence how a gift is processed and whether a donor can even do what they propose!
