Description

In January 2025, a series of Executive Orders (EOs) and Memoranda were issued and have significantly altered federal policy in areas such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, reproductive healthcare access, and immigration. These changes present new compliance and operational challenges for tax-exempt organizations, as they must now navigate regulatory uncertainty, potential funding freezes, heightened government scrutiny, and disruptions to overall mission objectives and related services. If you are a lawyer serving on a tax-exempt’s board or if you represent tax-exempt organizations in practice, you must understand the immediate legal implications of these orders and prepare clients for additional policy shifts. Join our expert panel on March 6 as they distill the key legal and financial threats posed by these federal actions and get their guidance on how tax-exempt organizations can stay compliant, mitigate risk, and secure organizational sustainability in an increasingly dynamic legal landscape. Topics of discussion include: > Analyze the legal and financial implications of recent Executive Orders and Memoranda > Assess the risks associated with shifting definitions of "illegal" DEI programs and their impact on federal funding eligibility > Understand the potential enforcement of the "illegality doctrine" and how it may be applied to tax-exempt organizations engaging in DEI, reproductive health, and immigration-related activities > Identify steps tax-exempt organizations can take to mitigate risk, including self-audits, compliance strategies, and alternative funding sources > Examine the anticipated effects of federal hiring freezes, foreign aid pauses, and increased immigration enforcement on nonprofit operations This ALI CLE program is essential for attorneys who represent nonprofits, work at nonprofits, or serve on nonprofit boards.
