Nonprofit News Digest

Monday - December 01, 2025

WELCOME!

​

Thanks for reading the Nonprofit News Digest!

I strive to share current and relevant information about the nonprofit sector each Monday to help you manage your nonprofit effectively.

Losing 501(c)(3) status is very frustrating!

Dear Friends,

Each month, I choose a complicated question about the nonprofit sector to answer. The question for this month is:

How to reinstate 501(c)(3) status after automatic revocation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

DO YOU CARE?

If this question is relevant to you, I would like you to follow my Reinstating Nonprofits Tutorials YouTube playlist, where I upload information about the reinstatement process daily.

New rules for charitable giving!

According to Fidelity Investments, charitable giving can make you feel good about supporting causes you care about. It can also have important tax benefits.

The new tax act passed in July 2025 made some important changes to the tax provisions for charitable contributions, which could make it more beneficial for people who itemize to consider giving this year, as they may see some reductions in the amounts they can deduct in the future. In contrast, non-itemizers could see greater tax benefits in future years.

While most of the changes go into effect for tax year 2026, the tax legislation introduces 3 new provisions that could significantly influence decisions on charitable giving strategies, offering both expanded opportunities and important considerations for donors to think about in the current tax year.

Learn about intellectual property, patents, trademarks, and copyright protections for your nonprofit organization (or business)

As you grow your nonprofit organization or business, you build value in its name, logos, trademarks, and bylines. They can be as valuable as your business reputation and profit levels.

Are you in a creative business? Designers, illustrators, painters, software engineers, writers, and authors can all create works with long-lasting value.

Are you an inventor? How do you establish proof of ownership of your invention?

Attend a workshop sponsored by SCORE!

By investing a few hours in this workshop, you will have up-to-date information on a key issue that you should address to decide if you need to protect or enhance the value of your business for any intellectual property.

Dear Friends, On January 15, 2026, I turned 60. I must admit that turning 60 feels different from any other birthday. Although I am so thankful to have made it to my 60th birthday, it made me take a closer look at how I spend my time. Reflection revealed something disturbing. I spend too much time curating and sharing information about the nonprofit sector for free. Friends, it is no exaggeration when I tell you that I spend hours every single day reading articles, creating and editing...
