If you are a nonprofit administrator or board member currently involved in fundraising or intending to implement some fundraising efforts, you need to attend this program. The technical aspects of fundraising activities and accounting for these activities are not something you want to overlook. Now that the IRS, the department of state and donors are in a heightened state of awareness about fundraising practices, attendance at this session will help you be prepared and prevent risk.

This seminar is presented by PANO and McKonly & Asbury. It is sponsored by The Hershey Company. The key areas of focus will be:

*Accounting for Fundraising: What is the right way to account for special events? When can we allocate costs jointly? When are government dollars considered program and when are they fundraising revenue? What is a fundraising expense?
*Monitoring anyone doing fundraising for your organization. This includes board members, staff, contract services and volunteers.
*Donor practices: How do you ensure donor privacy? What are appropriate donor policies?
*Bring samples of your fundraising solicitations and acknowledgements to critique your own materials.
