This one-hour webinar will offer a high-level overview of recent trends and best practices for foundation governance. Attorneys from the Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Organizations group of Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, will present practical tips for governance and legal compliance, focused on small to mid-size foundations. Drawing from both national trends in the industry and the impact of the pandemic and social change, topics will include: 
 
  • considerations for revising bylaws and conflict of interest policies; 
  • foundation political activity, including lobbying and advocacy; 
  • issues to consider when funding a project with a fiscal sponsor; and 
  • updating grant agreements. 
Our speakers will hold time for Q&A at the end of the presentation. As part of the registration process, attendees may also submit questions or topic area suggestions for our speakers to address if time allows.
