Tax compliance through Form 990-PF is about more than just appeasing the IRS — it significantly impacts your nonprofit’s reputation and standing among the public. Even if your private foundation is fully exempt from taxes, your organization must still report certain information to the IRS annually. This ensures that your foundation operates according to IRS guidelines and also provides transparency for your nonprofit.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Nonprofit organizations rely on their leadership team to help shape and implement the mission, making succession planning a key part of long-term success. While CEO succession typically grabs the spotlight, you also need to consider other teams that contribute to the everyday operation of your nonprofit.
