Big changes are happening to the tax code because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but what does that mean for you and your nonprofit. From changes to taxes on Unrelated Business Income, changes to estate taxes, to changes to the standard and charitable deductions, there's a lot to digest and prepare for.
Jen Vacha, CPA, CGMA is a Principal at Brown, Smith, Wallace and has more than 15 years of experience, specializing in not-for-profit, individual and small business returns. She's here to break down what the changes mean to you, some strategies for fundraising in a new environment, and gives us a bonus tidbit about what needs to be in those tax receipts you send to your donors and when they need to get in the mailbox.
Brown, Smith, Wallace is hosting a free seminar on tax code changes that will dive even deeper on February 21 and 28 in St. Louis and St. Charles, MO.
You can find Jen at www.bswllc.com, on LinkedIn, or email her at jvacha@bswllc.com.

Sometimes it seems like things at nonprofits happen just like magic. The trash gets taken out, the towels get cleaned, gift bags are just taken care of, the list goes on.
Today, Marjorie and Natalie give a BIG thank you to the unsung heros in nonprofit life who take care of the little things that really make a difference in a nonprofit culture. From the volunteer that donates a suitcase for all the event materials to the staff member who always makes sure the tea cabinet is stocked, we see you and we thank you.

Raising the big money can be mystifying so we brought David Gonzalez who has been in the fundraising business for 16 years working with health and human services organizations, hospitals, and universities. He pulls back the curtain to share what to talk about in a meeting with a donor, get a long term game plan together for stewarding big donors at events, and what to put together in the proposal.
To get in touch with David, find him on LinkedIn or email him at gonzalezds100@gmail.com.

When was the last time a car cut you off, only for you to realize it was wrapped in your favorite charity's logo. Or you witnessed someone being rude to a store employee while wearing (gulp) the tee shirt from YOUR fundraiser?
There's a lot to think about when it comes to nonprofit branding and not all of it is under our control... especially if you give out a lot of swag.
Marjorie and Natalie grabbed some wine to talk about the ramifications of boarish employees on social media, rude donors in the community, and bad drivers in your organization's cars and what you can do to protect your brand from them.

You probably read the article from the Charleston City Paper by Angel Postell entitled Constantly Asking Restaurants to Give Freebies to Charities has Got to Stop.
Owner of BEAST Craft BBQ Co. in Belleville, IL, David Sandusky had to respond to Angel and all other restaurant owners who don't think that giving is part of a smart business plan.
David shared his strategy and motivation for giving to the community and what nonprofits can do to increase their chances of a gift... but not his recipe for the fry sauce that Marjorie can't get enough of.
You can show your support for this true community supporter by going to BEAST Craft BBQ Co. at 20 S Belt W, Belleville, IL 62220, going to their website at http://www.beastcraftbbq.com/ or calling 618-257-9000 or checking them out on Facebook.
