The DMM serves as the basis of providing Accidental Data Nerds with a roadmap for building organizational data capacity.

Untangling the Multiple Views of Cost
Tues., Feb. 13, 2019

Understanding and managing costs are critical to organizational decision-making, but it can also be a daunting challenge. We help you untangle the overlapping perspectives on costs, keep an eye out for those often overlooked, and outline steps to calculate the comprehensive cost of programs as well as your whole enterprise. You'll take home Nonprofit Finance Fund's customizable cost allocation tool to better understand the cost of mission delivery for negotiating, fundraising, and financial storytelling purposes.

Creating a Stellar Fundraising Plan
Weds., Feb. 20, 2019
9 a.m.-noon

Does your annual fundraising plan need a refresh? Do you need to create one from scratch? This interactive workshop will provide you with tips and tools for creating a realistic blueprint that will guide you through a year of success. An annual fundraising plan is imperative for organizations of any size, as it provides the roadmap to guide development staff, board and volunteers toward goals to sustain the mission. Small development teams often lack the resources to develop realistic goals, from multiple revenue streams, and to keep on track throughout the year when everything fundraising related seems like a priority. This collaborative workshop, led by seasoned fundraisers who have created scores of development plans for grassroots organizations over the years, will prepare participants for laying the groundwork for a successful annual fundraising plan with diverse revenue streams and limited staff resources. Ideal participants are staff and board members who have responsibility for fundraising and resource development for their organizations, and who want to create a sustainable fundraising plan with attainable goals.

INSIDE NYC NONPROFITS
State UBIT and Commuter Benefit - Legislative Fix in the Governor's Budget
Because of your advocacy, in December 2018, Governor Cuomo signed the law that decouples the state and federal tax law so that New York State will NOT tax nonprofits on commuter benefits.This means the state tax burden of 9% on all qualified transportation benefits has been eliminated! However, a drafting error created problems for those organizations with a fiscal year start date that does not align with the calendar year. We have worked closely with the state to fix this error, and the fix was included in the Governor's budget this month. (For those of you who would like to see the language, it is in Section 9 of Part Z of the Revenue bill.) Assuming this section stays in the final budget bill, it will fix the law to reflect the original intent: that the state tax law should be decoupled entirely from the federal tax law.

Required Number of Members for a Corporation in New York State
Governor Cuomo signed into law S8699/A10366, which establishes that corporations (including nonprofits) must have at least three people as members (except if the corporation has no members). This law is meant to prevent nonprofits with a sole member from electing the Board of Directors.
New York City Lactation Room Law
A new law goes into effect on March 18, 2019 requiring New York City employers to provide a lactation room, among other protections for working mothers.  This will also require updated policies and request forms, which the New York City Commission on Human Rights will publish in the future.

New Policy to Diminish Lags in Registration of Fiscal Year 2020 Extensions and Renewals
The City has implemented a new policy, effective immediately, with the goal of diminishing lags in the registration of FY 2020 extensions and renewals. The policy streamlines, digitizes and standardizes the renewal process in an effort to realize more timely registration. Nonprofits with FY 2020 renewals or extensions can expect to receive a notification letter from their contracting agency that outlines the new policy and the required documentation. If you have not heard from your agency, you can reach out to your contract manager or email help@mocs.nyc.gov. The City provided a  tips sheet that offers guidelines for providers that can support more timely extension and renewal contract registration.
New Standardized Audits Process: Call for Nonprofit Participants to Track Effectiveness
The standardized audit guide for nonprofits receiving City funding, was developed in collaboration with nonprofits, City agencies, and certified public accounting (CPA) firms, establishes a framework for a consistent audit process and timeline across human service City agencies. This new policy became effective in November 2018. MOCS is collecting data on the audit process to (1) determine the effectiveness of implementation, and (2) identify enhancements.  Would your organization be interested in being part of the tracking process? Tracking would involve recording on a one-page tracking tool the start and end dates of 20 specific tasks and providing comments about delays or other issues. Please contact MOCS at help@mocs.nyc.gov if you have questions about the new audit process or if you can participate in the tracking.  

Governor Cuomo Signs New Voting Law
In January, Governor Cuomo signed new legislation that modernizes voting law, including allowing early voting, pre-registration for minors, synchronized federal and state primary dates, and more. This is important information for nonprofits because we know that nonprofits are a great force in encourage civic engagement - and NPCC developed a Voter Engagement Toolkit with Nonprofit VOTE and COMMUNITY Votes. 
NATIONAL NEWS
A Thank You to Nonprofits Affected by the Federal Government Shutdown
From the National Council of Nonprofits: With the signing of a temporary, short-term funding bill late Friday, the longest federal government shutdown ended and millions of federal, nonprofit, and for-profit employees can go back to work. There is much more to be said and done to recover from the politician-made crisis, which we address below, but first we acknowledge the engagement of nonprofits across the country. Charitable nonprofits, on their own and in cooperation with local governments and businesses, demonstrated the best in America. They earned the respect and thanks of all affected by the federal government shutdown. In a special Thank You to Nonprofits message published before the shutdown ended, National Council of Nonprofits Board Chair Donna Murray-Brown and President & CEO Tim Delaney marveled at how charitable nonprofits "stepped forward, yet again, to help innocent people who are being hurt by circumstances beyond their control." They observed that, while this is normal when "helping others cope with everyday struggles and natural disasters," this time nonprofits volunteered to help their fellow Americans during "an unnatural disaster" caused by politicians. They concluded with these words of praise to the nonprofit community: "We hope politicians will learn from your positive example of putting people first. We're proud to serve with you. For the public good. Every day."
UBIT and the Federal Tax Update
Although NPCC and other coalition members were successful in eliminating a state UBIT commuter benefit tax, the federal tax remains. At 21%, this has a significant impact on many nonprofits. The Independent Sector shared research on this impact, and ways that nonprofits can engage in this national discussion. Preliminary guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service in December (Notice 2018-99) proposed to clarify when nonprofits must pay a 21 percent unrelated business income tax on employer expenses related to employee parking. The notice, which is subject to public comment, instructs organizations to apply a complicated four-step calculus for putting a value on taxable parking spaces.

A separate notice (
Notice 2018-100) allows for tax penalty waivers for nonprofits that failed to submit quarterly estimated tax payments on those transportation benefits. The IRS has given no guidance or relief for the application of the tax on other transportation benefits, such as subway or bus passes. Nonprofits affected by the income tax on parking expenses are invited to submit comments to the IRS by February 22. Additionally, the IRS published a 96-page notice (Notice 2019-09) this month explaining when nonprofit employers must pay the new 21 percent tax on annual compensation in excess of $1 million for their highest-paid staff. The preliminary guidance clarifies that (1) nonprofits should use the calendar year ending within the nonprofits' fiscal year to calculate the tax; and (2) nonprofits generally will not be able to avoid the tax by splitting highly-compensated employees' pay between multiple related organizations, among other things. The IRS is accepting comments from the public
through April 2.

Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act
A bipartisan bill to expand charitable giving incentives in response to the 2017 federal tax law was introduced in the House of Representatives last week. The legislation (H.R.651
), proposed by Representatives Cuellar (D-TX) and Smith (R-NJ), would create a non-itemizer, or universal, charitable deduction for all taxpayers, regardless of whether they itemize deductions. 
Judge Strikes Citizenship Question from 2020 Census
A federal court ruled that the U.S. Commerce Department cannot include the proposed citizenship question to the 2020 Census. The New York Times summarized the 277-page decision
this way: In a lengthy and stinging ruling, Judge Jesse M. Furman of the United States District Court in Manhattan said that Wilbur L. Ross Jr., the commerce secretary, committed "a veritable smorgasbord" of violations of federal procedural law when he ordered the citizenship question added. Mr. Ross "failed to consider several important aspects of the problem; alternately ignored, cherry-picked, or badly misconstrued the evidence in the record before him; acted irrationally both in light of that evidence and his own stated decisional criteria; and failed to justify significant departures from past policies and practices," Judge Furman wrote. Judge Furman ruled in only one of six cases challenging the citizenship question and other aspects of the 2020 Census. The decision will likely be followed by other trial-level court decisions, and the issue probably will not be resolved until the U.S, Supreme Court decides.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Protections Continue
The Supreme Court refused to take action on a case regarding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which means the nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children continue to have these protections for at least the next several months.
A National View of 2019 Public Policy for Nonprofits
The Chronicle of Philanthropy published the National Council of Nonprofit's public policy forecast for the nonprofit and foundation community: The Effects of 2019 Tax-Policy Decisions Will Linger for Decades. It's Time to Weigh In.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
A Call to Action for Nonprofits in 2019
2018 posed a lot of challenges to the nonprofit sector. We have work to do in 2019. NPCC's President, Sharon Stapel, and the National Council of Nonprofits' Vice President of Public Policy, David Thompson, talk about what we need to do, including:  promoting fiscally sound tax incentives for giving back; improved public policies that recognize and reflect the unique, cost-savings contributions nonprofits make to the economy every day; streamlined processes to allow for more effective partnerships; and workplace laws that treat nonprofits as equals. Read the full article on NPCC's website.
NPCC SURVEY - Did Your Nonprofit Donations Increase or Decrease in 2018?
The new federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) went into effect in 2018, impacting the ability to deduct charitable contributions to nonprofits. NPCC would like to know if you saw a change in donations in 2018 from 2017.  Please fill out this 2-minute survey. We'll use this information - in the aggregate, without identifying information -  to advocate for fairer tax reform for nonprofits.

This webinar provides information on the key facets of the update to help you make sure your nonprofit is prepared for the coming changes. This webinar is a member-only resource and you will need to use your Community login.
