In this time of turmoil and difficult decisions, we are partnering with Public Counsel to bring you a series of four webinars to help you decide how to move forward on key legal issues nonprofits are facing. We’ll cover what you can and should be doing to protect your organization, as well as what you can’t legally do – in four compliance areas:

1. Nonprofits as Commercial Property Tenants – Know Your Rights! (Get the recording here)
   Learn tips about how to manage rent payments and lease, respond to landlord communications, and make use of local protections for tenants. Note: this webinar was presented on July 29th, 2020 and may contain information that is outdated. 
2. Election Engagement the Right Way: August 27 at 11 AM (Register here) 
   Learn what nonprofits can and can’t do to help register new voters, provide public education about elections, engage candidates, and still stay safely within the limits allowed for tax-exempt organizations.
3. Tips for Downscaling Your Organization: Date/Time TBD (mid-fall)
   Learn about reallocating resources, laying off staff, providing severance, merging with another organization, and other tips for downscaling a nonprofit organization.
4. Implementing Assembly Bill 5: Date/Time TBD (winter)
   Learn when the law requires a nonprofit to convert independent contractors to employees, when it doesn’t, and how to do it when it does.

Registration fees:
All webinars are free for members! (Learn more about membership here.)
$39 each or all 4 for $125 (Not-yet-members)

We’ve talked with thousands of California nonprofits over the last few months – on Nonprofit Town Halls with elected officials, through webinars, and many old-fashioned phone calls. We know that some of us are operating at extremely high or beyond capacity – such as nonprofit health clinics and food banks – and others of us, like theaters and museums, are completely closed.
