DESCRIPTION:
Much has changed since 2020, most significantly in the nonprofit sector. The pandemic forced many organizations to pivot and rethink how they will continue to serve their constituents and it also led to opportunities for new emerging efforts to serve communities that may have never been served. As philanthropy has tried to meet the demand of emerging needs, there is a growing need to respond quickly to opportunities. This workshop will explore the legalities of the fiscal sponsor relationship and what philanthropy needs to be thinking of as they try to respond to situations requiring creative solutions.
