Nonprofit organizations are facing renewed legislative and regulatory threats that could significantly alter the landscape of philanthropy. This timely webinar will examine recent developments in tax legislation, including a reconciliation package currently under consideration by the House and Senate, which presents both opportunities and challenges for the nonprofit sector. Participants will learn about the provision that was removed, which could have allowed the Executive Branch to unilaterally revoke nonprofit status, a change averted due to the powerful advocacy efforts of nonprofit leaders nationwide. Through this session, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how executive actions and legislative proposals intersect with philanthropic freedoms and how sustained advocacy remains a critical tool in protecting the sector’s integrity.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the key provisions in the current tax reconciliation package and their potential impact on nonprofit organizations.
2. Identify how executive orders and proposed legislative changes can influence the status and operations of philanthropic entities.
3. Recognize the power of coordinated nonprofit advocacy in shaping public policy outcomes.
4. Prepare for ongoing legislative threats and engage effectively in policy defense strategies to protect nonprofit independence.
