⚠️ Important next steps for Nonprofits!⚠️

It's up to solicitors how comfortable they feel bringing up these options, but presumably you know your major donors quite well. In-person meetings are worth their weight in gold. Make sure you stay in touch with these major donors!

End-of-life gifts might come in the form of an outright gift or by making a charity a beneficiary of a Donor Advised Fund, Life Insurance, or retirement account.

Life Income Gifts can be useful for larger charities. As your nonprofit grows, it may be worth consulting an attorney about this option.

Nonprofits can encourage donors to use Qualified Charitable Distributions directly from an IRA, which completely avoids income tax on the donor's part.

Providing different options for how to give is a way of meeting the donor where they are. Options like having a direct transfer from a brokerage account to avoid capital gains tax can incentivize the donor to give even more.

Here are some ways that you can maximize the amount of money coming to your nonprofits while minimizing the impact on the donors.

The ClassACT HR73 theme for this year is Democracy@250. The United States military has played a key role in our history and therefore warrants our collective attention now, as we celebrate the country’s first 250 years.

From Juliette Kayyem: Educate yourself on the complexity of the US military issued, whether you think they will destroy or save us. We need to push our legal apparatus to participate in the norms to do with the military — inch by inch you will bring the floor act.

From LTG (Ret.) David W. Barno: Look at the legislation that need to be revised or created to restrain executive power over the military, including the Insurrection Act, Posse Comitatus Act, and Title 10 of the US Code. #ClassACTHR73Forum

Kayyem and Barno explain that every commander has legal advice from a Judge Advocate General who helps them determine what is and is not a "legal order." The expansion of presidential powers has put them in a difficult position, but the advice they are giving is not diminished. #ClassACTHR73Forum

It's been unclear that these attacks are illegal, so the military will carry them out, says LTG Barno. It falls to Congress to restrain the president's powers in this area. #ClassACTHR73Forum
