Your nonprofit is growing. ๐ŸŽ‰

Thatโ€™s great news โ€”but growth can also mean new IRS filing requirements.

Our latest Guest Blog from NDANO Associate Member Tax990 explains what nonprofits should know when they move into a new Form 990 filing tier, including changes in reporting, governance, financial oversight, and transparency.

If your organization is getting close to a new revenue or asset threshold, this is a good one to bookmark.

Thank you to Patience Booker and the Tax990 team for helping make a complicated topic a little easier to navigate!

Federal policy decisions have a very real impact on nonprofits right here at home, from funding and advocacy to regulations and the services organizations provide every day.

NDANO is excited to welcome Diane Yentel, President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, for a special **members-only webinar** focused on what nonprofit leaders need to know now.

Weโ€™ll talk about:
