Join us for a timely discussion of potential threats to tax-exempt status, including an examination of the potential for changes to the government’s approach to what purposes or activities qualify for tax-exemption; expanded use of doctrines on illegality or fundamental public policy to revoke tax-exemption; and new terrorist supporting organization legislation.

In a fast shifting and disruptive enforcement landscape, laws affecting interactions with foreign companies and governments present unprecedented compliance risks and burdens for the unwary. The Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (“FARA”) remains a sweeping, vague statute, for which the application even to U.S. companies can often be threatening and unclear, particularly in the face of the proliferation of similar legislation by other jurisdictions around the world. Similarly, companies attempting to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (“FCPA”), which has historically been one of the areas of most aggressive corporate criminal enforcement, are now operating in an environment of unprecedented uncertainty. Recent DOJ guidance on the enforcement of both laws and a recent Presidential directive regarding review of FCPA enforcement have created significant ambiguities as to the fate of ongoing investigations and enforcement, potentially fundamentally altering the compliance and voluntary disclosure calculus - in some surprising ways. Learn how these laws work, and how recent developments will affect enforcement and compliance practices.

This panel will discuss some of the key legal and regulatory actions taken during the first six months of the Trump Administration that impact the nonprofit sector. Some organizations are facing dire circumstances triggered by the loss of federal funding. Others are assessing whether shifting federal policies regarding “DEI,” immigration and other issues will affect their charitable programs and grantmaking. Others may fear targeted IRS audits and other agency investigations. As in-house counsel, you have a key role in helping your organization’s leadership navigate these challenges. Our discussion will arm you with information, guidance, and strategies to help you assess options and prepare for potential scrutiny.
