December 8Grantmaker Due Diligence in the Pension Protection Act Era: How to Identify Supporting Organizations and Align Your Grants Administration Process with the 21st-Century Tax Code

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 imposes new excise taxes on private foundations and sponsors of donor-advised funds for making grants to certain types of supporting organizations. This webinar will address the concerns of grantmakers, including:

  • How can I determine if a potential grantee is a supporting organization?
  • What about 509(a)(3) organizations that are Types I, II or III?
  • Are there best practices concerning determination of functional integration for Type III supporting organizations?
  • What are the practical implications of Revenue Procedure 2009-32, and how might they impact my grantmaking operations and compliance practices?
In this free, interactive learning lab we'll review the IRS tax code, interim guidance, and corresponding pre-grant due-diligence best practices. We'll explore different on-line and manual options for charity verification, including GuideStar Charity Check. You'll gain the knowledge you need to avoid excise taxes and take away tips to streamline your due-diligence process.

Presenters: Suzanne Ross McDowell, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson, LLP, and Pamela Jowdy, Senior Product Manager, GuideStar
