Impactful Policy Frameworks
Nonprofit Revitalization Act (Varies by State, e.g., NY 2013, 2021 Amendments)
While not a single federal act, many states, like New York with its Nonprofit Revitalization Act (originally 2013, with amendments in 2021), have updated their laws governing non-profit corporate governance, financial oversight, and operational transparency.
These acts increase the compliance burden for non-profits, potentially creating more demand for pro bono legal and financial consulting services, and requiring Compass to ensure its non-profit partners are aware of these requirements.
IRS Form 990 Revisions (Ongoing, most recent significant changes in 2008 and subsequent updates)
The IRS Form 990, the annual information return for tax-exempt organizations, undergoes periodic revisions to enhance transparency and provide more detailed financial and governance information to the public.
Increased complexity in financial reporting can drive non-profits to seek pro bono accounting and financial management expertise, which Compass Pro Bono can help facilitate.
State Charitable Solicitation Regulations (Varies by State)
Each state has its own regulations regarding charitable solicitations, including registration requirements, reporting, and disclosures, which are regularly updated to address new fundraising methods (e.g., crowdfunding, online giving).
Non-profits require ongoing assistance to navigate these diverse and evolving regulations, creating opportunities for pro bono legal and compliance support that Compass can provide.
