Legal Matters for Community Foundations
Led by Suzanne Friday, Counsel for the Council on Foundations and Brad Ward, Director of Community Philanthropy, this workshop is flexibly organized to ensure that broad legal questions for administering funds, grants, and community foundation activities are addressed. The workshop provides both technical and practical understanding of complex rules and regulations and delivers on the most pressing issues and topics of the community foundation field. Throughout the day, sessions will be curated with the help of insight gleaned from the Council's legal team, as well as trends spotted by community partners, including the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations. In addition, input will be received directly from the participants. With each session, there will be time for questions and deeper exploring of the answers. This workshop is open to any board or staff member from any community foundation that is eager to dive deep into the legalities of our business model and unlock the truth to effective management and leadership of a community foundation.
