Nonprofit Essentials

Join fellow Native nonprofit leaders for a virtual session to learn about nonprofit compliance in Washington State. Topics include:

• State registration and charity renewal

• Federal tax-exempt status and IRS Form 990

• Tribal vs. state jurisdiction in employment and tax law

• Payroll, worker classification, and workplace standards

Our goal is to give you what you need to keep your nonprofit compliant and thriving. This session is designed to fit into your busy day and give you an overview of information. You’ll learn about resources available to help you keep learning after the session, and how to get answers to questions we don’t cover.
