Thurs., December 7, 2017
9:30am - 11:30am
As in-house infrastructure ages and bandwidth costs continue to fall, nonprofit organizations are in a great position to take advantage of cloud technology. What functions should move to the cloud? How will security needs be addressed?
During the session we will discuss a broad range of cloud computing trends. We will review different designs and provide examples of how some agencies are working in a hybrid or full cloud environment. This will be an interactive session catering to specific questions attendees have about cloud computing, including ballpark costs.

Wed., January 17, 2018
9:30am - 11:30am
The drivers of real estate projects are diverse: an upcoming lease expiration, a shift in mission, new leadership, evolving physical needs, and more. Coupled with the difficulties of securing affordable space, many nonprofits struggle to determine the right next move for their real estate. In this workshop, professionals from Denham Wolf will provide a nonprofit-specific overview of leasing and acquisition in New York City, including key differences in timing, financial impact, and extent of site control. To help illustrate these differences, the decision making process of two recent case studies will be mapped out using a live Excel model.

Thurs., January 18, 2018
2:00pm - 4:00pm
Information Security & Privacy (also known as Cyber Liability) insurance is quickly becoming one of the most important and sought after coverages in the insurance marketplace. As recent claims studies have suggested that nonprofits represent the third most breached sector, it is important for all nonprofits, small and large, to understand their cyber security risks and the utilization of a cyber-policy as a method of risk transfer.
The presentation will provide a background to the variety of cyber risks - from extortion to privacy law - that all nonprofits face and shed light on the potential claims that may arise for those nonprofits that suffer a breach. The presentation will also describe the basic coverages afforded under a Cyber Liability policy. Lastly, we will introduce our NPCC Cyber Liability program. Click here to register.

Wed., January 24, 2018
9:30am - 11:30am
Strategic planning is one of the most important management tools successful organizations can employ. But organizations often feel the pressure to take on strategic planning before they are ready. Or they believe a strategic plan will solve all their current challenges when an alternative might be more suitable. How do you know your organization is ready to take on a strategic planning project? What can you do to prepare your organization for a successful strategic planning process? What alternatives do you have if you're not ready? This interactive workshop will explore these questions and provide attendees with the tools to assess their organization's readiness for strategic planning.

TAKE ACTION: Protect Public Trust In America's Charitable Nonprofits
The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate have passed separate versions of tax reform. The difference between the bills must be negotiated in what's called a conference committee made up of a dozen or more Representatives and Senators who will be named soon.
We need your help in convincing all in Congress, and particularly the "tax conferees," to preserve nonprofit
non-partisanship
and to reject any changes to the Johnson Amendment
.
Each bill contains multiple provisions that would harm the ability of charitable nonprofits to advance our missions. The most damaging is Section 5201 of the House-passed bill; it would radically change the longstanding, vital protection in law for non-partisanship
of charitable, religious, and philanthropic organizations, known as the Johnson Amendment. Section 5201 would allow political operatives to pressure those organizations to endorse or oppose candidates for public office, and powerful donors to exert even more pressure by giving or threatening to withhold charitable contributions to get the organizations to endorse or oppose candidates the donors prefer. The proposed change would also make political donations - for the first time ever - tax-deductible when funneled through charitable nonprofits, houses of worship, and foundations. This provision is NOT in the Senate bill.
All people have a vested interest in preserving the independence and non-partisanship
of the charitable and philanthropic sectors.
We urge you to immediately take one or more of these steps
.
Step One
: Call your Representative and Senators (Capitol switchboard: 202-225-3121) and deliver this important message:
"I'm a constituent and I'm calling in opposition to a very harmful provision in the tax bill that would weaken the Johnson Amendment and politicize charitable nonprofits, houses of worship, and foundations against our wishes. The harmful provision is Section 5201 of the House-passed tax bill that is now in a conference committee with the Senate. It is imperative that Senator/Representative [NAME] reach out to every member of the conference committee and tell them the Johnson Amendment language in the House bill must be stripped from the final bill. Thank you."
Step Two
:
Send this message as an Action Alert
to your board members, employees, volunteers, and the people you serve and encourage them to join you in speaking up to preserve the independence and non-partisanship
of the charitable, religious, and philanthropic sectors.
Step Three
: Send tweets. Find your Representative and Senators and send direct messages to their Twitter handles. Make use of those 280 characters to let them know how politicizing charitable nonprofits would affect your organizations' ability to serve the community. Include the period at the start to send directly to your elected officials. Here are some sample tweets:
.[Senator/Representative twitter handle] Tell the tax conferees to strip House Sec. 5201 #JohnsonAmendment language from the final #GOPTaxBill. This provision unacceptably politicizes charitable #nonprofits, houses of worship, and foundations and would make political donations tax-deductible.
Your voice matters! Join us in taking a stand for a strong and vibrant nonprofit community.

Temporary Protected Status for Haitians to End July 2019
The Trump Administration will be ending the Temporary Status program, which currently protects approximately 60,000 Haitians, according to the
announcement made by Homeland Security on November 20. Haiti has struggled to recover from the earthquake that hit in January 2010 and Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The program will terminate in July 2019 to allow for people to make arrangements to return to Haiti or risk deportation.

Judge Rules Against DOJ Attempt to Withhold Sanctuary City Funding
On November 15, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration can't withhold money from the state of Philadelphia for refusing to cooperate with federal authorities on immigration. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson said Philadelphia proved that withholding the grant money would cause irreparable damage, as part of it is used for emergency local matters.

Government funding, extended to December 6th through a deal made by legislators in October, is set to shut down this week unless Congress acts. Reports of a two-week extension are circulating. If the government shuts down, nonprofits will have to be prepared for delayed payments on grants, delayed payments on benefits to community members, and other services the government provides.

The Federal Communications Commission would revoke its 2015 rules mandating net neutrality, potentially setting off a wave of price hikes and limiting internet innovation, if a draft proposal from the FCC Chairman is adopted next month. Many have expressed concern on behalf of smaller organizations, including nonprofits, that costs, internet access, and streaming services could establish an unfair internet class system.

Tribal, state, and local governments have until the December 15, 2017 deadline to register for the Local Update Census Addresses (LUCA) operation and review the U.S. Census Bureau's residential address list for their jurisdictions for the 2020 Census.

Exercise Your Nonprofit's Unemployment Insurance Tax Exemption for 2018
 Last year, more than 2,100 nonprofits saved $27.8 million on their unemployment claims costs.
By federal law, 501(c)(3)s are allowed to opt-out of the state unemployment tax system, and instead only reimburse the state if and when they have an actual unemployment claim, dollar-for-dollar.
For nonprofits who have lower claims than what they pay in state unemployment taxes, this unique tax alternative can help organizations save up to 60% on UI costs-which is funding that can be redirected toward mission-driven initiatives and the communities in which we serve.
A dedicated partner of NPCC since 2011,
UST has been able to help nonprofit organizations lower their unemployment and HR costs through dedicated administrative support, expert claims advice, a live HR hotline, online training courses and outplacement services.
In 2016 alone, participating NPCC agencies saved $95,960 by utilizing the UST program. However, time is running out to
benchmark your nonprofit's unemployment costs.
If you're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with 10+ employees, you must submit your
FREE unemployment cost analysis by December 15 in order to meet the NY state deadline for 2018 enrollment. Use priority code
2017NPCC-E to expedite your request.

Coming January 1, 2018: New York Paid Family Leave
Starting January 1, almost all employees who work for private employers in New York will have access to Paid Family Leave (PFL) -- an employee-funded insurance policy that provides job-protected time off to bond with a new child, care for a sick family member, or help relieve pressures when a family member is called to active military service abroad. Benefits phase in over four years. In 2018, employees can take up to eight weeks of time off at 50% of their average weekly wage (AWW), capped at 50% of the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW). By 2021, employees will be able to take up to 12 weeks at 67% of their AWW, capped at 67% of the SAWW.
Private employers are required to obtain PFL coverage (which is generally a rider on their disability insurance policy) and public employers may choose to opt in. Nonprofit organizations are not exempt; however, some classes of employees at nonprofit religious, charitable or education institutions may be exempt (e.g., executive officers, volunteers, clergy, and those engaged in a professional or teaching capacity). Nonprofit employers may voluntarily cover these exempt classes of employees for both disability and PFL benefits. If a nonprofit employer has previously elected to cover an exempt class of employees for disability benefits, those employees will automatically be included in the PFL policy. More information about voluntarily covering exempt employees is provided in Workers' Compensation Law section 212.
For detailed information on PFL, including implementation resources for employers, visit http://ny.gov/PaidFamilyLeave

Effective July 1, 2017, the City provides at least a 25% advance across all registered human service contracts with recoupment during the last six months of the operating budget. Visit the
Nonprofit Resiliency Committee web page for more information.
Digital Audits
All certified public accountants (CPAs) hired by City agencies, or auditors authorized by City agencies to conduct audits of human service contracts, must collect documents during the audit planning exclusively through the HHS Accelerator Document Vault.

Do You Offer A 403(b) Retirement Plan? You May Want To Consider "Fiduciary Outsourcing"
Many nonprofit organizations provide 403(b) retirement plans to employees, a valuable benefit. But sponsorship of such plans entails the assumption of substantial responsibilities to administer them properly-far from a simple task.
The Plan Document which establishes a 403(b) is typically more than 100 pages long, and goes into great detail about the proper handling of each small aspect of the plan. At the end of this article is a list of 50 distinct mandated tasks which must be addressed, in many cases on specific timetables. Clearly, significant attention and resources must be devoted to this effort.
Issues of potential legal liability must also be considered. The Plan Document must specify one or more "Named Fiduciaries" responsible for managing the plan. For self-administered plans (which are typical) those are usually financial or operating officers or other staff members. Participants in retirement plans are able to file lawsuits if they believe mismanagement has occurred, and audits by the Department of Labor can result in similar actions. Not only can the penalties assessed in such litigation be extremely substantial, but the Named Fiduciaries can be personally liable in many cases! For this reason, fiduciary insurance policies are available.

Nonprofits play a vital role in advocating for social issues as well as informing and influencing public policy. Many nonprofit executives are unclear about laws surrounding lobbying and political activity. In the face of our current social and political climate where a rapid response is often required, it's important for nonprofits to stay abreast of regulations around advocacy and lobbying.
Join us for a seminar where skilled attorneys will help you learn about:
- what is and what is not considered lobbying;
- how much lobbying a public charity can do;
- what the federal tax rules related to advocacy and lobbying are; and
- what your organization needs to do to protect its tax status while engaging in these activities.

| A/B Testing Guide: How To Do It and What To Test
Mail Chimp, Whole Whale
Benchmarks and demographic data help to give an idea of what kinds of messaging audiences will respond to but you can never really know unless you test. A/B testing, also known as split testing, is when you send 2 versions of an email to a segment of your audience and track which one gets the most opens or clicks. Whichever one wins is sent to the rest of your list. If the process sounds tedious, many email marketing services like MailChimp have automated it to make it easy - even for email beginners.
