Governance and Legal Trends and Best Practices: A Review for Funders
This one-hour webinar will offer a high-level overview of recent trends and best practices for foundation governance. Attorneys from the Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Organizations group of Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, will present practical tips for governance and legal compliance, focused on small to mid-size foundations. Drawing from both national trends in the industry and the impact of the pandemic and social change, topics will include:
- considerations for revising bylaws and conflict of interest policies;
- foundation political activity, including lobbying and advocacy;
- issues to consider when funding a project with a fiscal sponsor; and
- updating grant agreements.
