Principal of NEO Law Group\, Erin Bradrick\, will walk us through the nonprofit filing and reporting requirements that matter most and help you spot potential gaps before they become real problems. Safeguard your organization’s good standing and long-term sustainability with practical guidance designed to support continued compliance and prevent disruptions to funding and operations. \n\n\n\nDuring this webinar\, you will learn: \n\n\n\n🔹 Which federal and California agencies require nonprofit filings beyond the IRS🔹 How to determine the filing and registration requirements that apply to your organization🔹 Where to access required one time and annual forms and official instructions🔹 What steps to take if your organization has missed a filing or fallen out of compliance \n\n\n\n \n Register Here URL:https://calnonprofits.org/event/good-standing-keeping-up-with-californias-nonprofit-reporting-requirements-2/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://calnonprofits.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/NEO-Logo.jpg LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260324T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260324T121500 DTSTAMP:20260318T230226Z CREATED:20260304T002451Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260318T230226Z UID:10000142-1774350000-1774354500@calnonprofits.org SUMMARY:Sanctuary Policies\, ICE Enforcement\, and Federal Funding: What Nonprofits Need to Know DESCRIPTION:As federal immigration enforcement intensifies in 2026\, nonprofit organizations across California are navigating renewed uncertainty. Increased ICE activity\, including workplace enforcement actions\, courthouse arrests\, expanded detention operations\, and renewed pressure on local jurisdictions\, is creating operational\, legal\, and safety concerns for many organizations\, particularly those serving immigrant communities. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, the City and County of San Francisco and other jurisdictions are challenging federal efforts to threaten funding over “sanctuary” status. While a federal court has issued a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement and there is currently no impact on federal funding\, significant legal and policy questions remain. \n\n\n\nBut beyond understanding the legal landscape\, many nonprofit leaders are asking: How do we move from concern to coordinated action? \n\n\n\nOur panel will cover: \n\n\n\n✔️ How to plug into statewide and regional efforts ✔️ The current legal status of sanctuary jurisdictions and federal funding✔️ What increased ICE activity means for nonprofit operations\, staff\, and clients✔️ Practical steps organizations can take now to protect data\, support staff\, and prepare leadership \n\n\n\nOur speakers will include: \n\n\n\n\nGeoff Green\, CEO\, CalNonprofits\n\n\n\nEfrain Escobado\, President and CEO\, Center for Nonprofit Management \n\n\n\nJeannette Zanipatin\, Director of Policy and Advocacy\, CHIRLA\n\n\n\nRev.

Adam Schiff and California’s Nonprofits DESCRIPTION:Mitigating the Federal Threats to Nonprofits and Building Strength for the Future\n\n\n\nThe political landscape is shifting\, and California’s nonprofits are on the front lines. With growing uncertainty at the federal level\, nonprofits are more crucial than ever to keep our communities safe\, healthy\, and vibrant. Yet\, we face a perfect storm of rising costs\, federal threats\, increasing demands\, and shrinking funding streams. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a critical discussion on these challenges with California’s U.S. Senator Adam Schiff. As recent federal actions cast a pall of uncertainty over the nonprofit sector\, Senator Schiff will provide a review of key legislative and policy updates in conversation with CalNonprofits CEO Geoff Green and nonprofit leaders. In this forum\, we’ll discuss: \n\n\n\n● The impact of federal funding freezes and cuts from the Trump Administration on the nonprofit sector. \n\n\n\n● H.R. 1’s decimation of the social safety net and what it may mean for future demand on nonprofit services. \n\n\n\n● How we navigate the current chaotic environment in the face of federal assaults\, including a barrage of executive orders\, pending litigation\, and threats to tax-exempt status \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Senator Adam Schiff California U.S. Senator \n\n\n\nGeoff GreenCEO\, CalNonprofits \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here URL:https://calnonprofits.org/event/virtual-townhall-with-sen-adam-schiff-and-californias-nonprofits-2/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://calnonprofits.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Oct.-22-Townhall-horizontal-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251021T110000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251021T120000 DTSTAMP:20251017T212721Z CREATED:20251017T212719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251017T212721Z UID:10000120-1761044400-1761048000@calnonprofits.org SUMMARY:The Big\, Ugly Bill: What H.R. 1 Means for Nonprofits DESCRIPTION:The passage of H.R. 1\, the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act\, will have far-reaching implications for the nonprofit sector. Changes to the federal tax code pose serious risks for tax-exempt organizations through new restrictions on charitable deductions\, a broadened executive compensation excise tax\, as well as new graduated excise taxes on foundations and university endowments. The bill will slash critical social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP\, and represents perhaps the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich\, the young to the old\, and the future to the past. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates an $81 billion reduction in nonprofit resources over the next decade. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the implications of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” for nonprofit organizations and help nonprofit leaders understand how H.R. 1’s budget and tax changes intersect with mission-driven work\, nonprofit advocacy\, and public trust in this critical moment.We’ll explore:● Key provisions impacting nonprofits\, including changes to charitable tax rules\, endowment excise taxes\, and unpaid student loan forgiveness● Shifts in Medicaid\, SNAP\, and funding for safety-net services that may increase demand for nonprofit programs even as resources tighten● Why preserving the tax-exempt sector matters\, and how new financial measures could affect nonprofits’ fundraising capacity \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Geoff GreenCEO\, CalNonprofitsJanice RoccoChief of Staff\, California Medical Association \n\n\n\nStacia LevenfeldCEO\, California Association of Food Banks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Here URL:https://calnonprofits.org/event/the-big-ugly-bill-what-h-r-1-means-for-nonprofits-2/ CATEGORIES:Nonprofit Resilience Under Trump 2.0,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://calnonprofits.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Oct.-21-Big-Ugly-Bill-updated-10.17-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251014T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251014T114500 DTSTAMP:20251009T161538Z CREATED:20251009T161537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251009T161538Z UID:10000118-1760439600-1760442300@calnonprofits.org SUMMARY:New Member Orientation DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative session to learn about the awesome CalNonprofit member benefits and how to access them.
