Over the past two years, the thoughtful and strategic way that CISCO has embraced and expanded the Executive Sleep Out has surprised and delighted the Covenant House family. In November of 2017, CISCO had 64 executives Sleep Out in 8 cities, and collectively raised $210,079 to support young people experiencing homelessness. This was the single largest corporate engagement and contribution in the history of the Executive Sleep Out for Covenant House. In addition to the Sleep Out, the support we’ve received from executives serving on boards, volunteering with our youth, and regularly stopping by to personally donate supplies and clothing goes above and beyond. Our youth, staff and board would like to thank CISCO for stepping out of your comfort zones to advocate for and demonstrate love for our young people. ALUMNI OF THE YEAR: ALEXANDRA MOLINA Oprah recently shared on OWN’S SuperSoul Sunday, “I first met Alex Molina on the Oprah show in 2004. Alex was 20 years old, living in Los Angeles, and struggling to heal the wounds of a difficult upbringing. After years of living in foster homes and shelters, Alex became legally emancipated at the age of 16. Fighting to stay off the streets, Alex discovered Covenant House California. Through the Cov, Alex says she found support, structure, and a new way of living.” Alex added, “When I was homeless, my escape was always school. For me, from a very young age, I knew that education was going to take me out of my homelessness.” Oprah then shared, “Inspired by her courage and resilience, we surprised Alex on the Oprah show with a full college scholarship. Thirteen years have passed since that moment, and Alex has found the connection she longed for by helping others heal.” Alex said, “I got a degree and with that I wanted to help people. That’s my purpose in life. I got hired at Covenant House as a case manager which was a full circle moment for me! I often have a lot of youth say that I don’t know what it’s like. I would look them in the eye and say, ‘I slept in those bunk beds. I made it to college. I made something of myself and now I’m here giving back. So yeah, I do know!’” It broke Alex’s heart that our youth were sleeping on the same bunk beds that she slept on in 2004. So Alex asked Oprah for help. Oprah immediately reached out to celebrity designer, Jeremiah Brent, and asked him to oversee this important project. A tidal wave of generosity quickly followed. In just four weeks, four buildings, 40 rooms and 96 beds were remodeled to create a beautiful place for our youth to call home. Alex’s passion for paying it forward to support our youth inspires and encourages us all! We will be forever grateful for her love and generosity.

  • Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities
    Audit Technique Guide – Fundraising Activities Introduction This guide addresses examining tax exempt organization fundraising and provides: Background information Audit guidelines Audit techniques Audit procedures This guide is not all-inclusive and doesn’t intend to limit agents to identifying issues or using techniques not listed in this guide. For information on fundraising issues involving political organizations, see the Audit Technique Guide for Political Organizations. For information on fundraising issues involving gaming activities, see the Audit Technique Guide for Organizations Conducting Gaming Activities. This manual is organized into five sections: Background information Activities (professional fundraisers, fundraising events, internet fundraising) Records (solicitations, disclosures, cash contributions, non-cash contributions) Reporting (Form 990-EZ, Form 990: Core Return, Schedule G, Schedule M, Form 990-PF, Form 990-T) Audit procedures (pre-audit, field/OCEP, penalty considerations, case closing) Background Most, if not all, tax exempt organizations need money. Many exempt purposes can only be achieved via the application of money. Thus, large numbers of organizations devote significant resources to acquiring money. These organizations use various methods to obtain funds, ranging from selling a product or service, conducting a fundraising event, to just asking for money. Traditional methods of obtaining funds include soliciting donors via the mail, phone calls, newspapers, radio, television, and now via the Internet. Organizations have become creative over the years, conducting activities and events, such as the sales of foodstuffs, car washes, raffles, casino nights, auctions, and pledge drives, evolving towards more sophisticated ways to fundraise, such as targeting solicitations, using patronage levels, crowd-funding, and tax planning, such as conservation easements, lending arrangements, and charitable gift annuities.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE PLACE: Jakarta DATE: 17 September 2016 Voice of Refugees Fundraising Concert– Joining Hands to Benefit Refugees Worldwide Jakarta, 17 September 2016 – Concerned business leaders and celebrities are joining hands with humanitarians and the general public tonight to help provide a better future for refugees everywhere through the Voices of Refugees concert. The event is being taped live at the Ciputra Artpreneur this evening and will be aired by Metro TV on 24 September, thanks to the charitable efforts of the Media Group. Ms. Noor Sabah, wife of the Norwegian Ambassador in Indonesia is involved as an organizer and patron of the concert. This marks the third year she has been helping to put together similar benefit concerts for humanitarian causes in Indonesia. In addition, this year’s Voice of Refugees concert has received the generous support of prominent Indonesian corporations such as Tahir Foundation, and the Media Group. Funds that are mobilized in connection with the concert will help UNHCR meet the urgent humanitarian and other needs of refugees, including shelter, health care, education and social services. Everyone who wants to help is encouraged to donate through UNHCR’s Indonesia Website at donate.unhcr.org. Donations can also be made at www.nobodyleftoutside.org, which would contribute towards UNHCR’s campaign to provide shelter for at least 2 million refugees by 2018. Donations are needed now more than ever as the world is witnessing a record number of people being forced from their homes due to war and persecution. By the end of 2015, over 65 million people were forcibly displaced around the world.

  • Volunteering Policy
    My Volunteering Policy The purpose of this policy is to outline the opportunities and procedures for Thomson Reuters employees to engage in community volunteering activities. By allowing all regular employees time off to volunteer, Thomson Reuters can continue to invest in its local communities, and have a meaningful impact on the world around us one community at a time. Thomson Reuters encourages employees from across the business to take part in volunteering activities with recognized charities and community organizations including accredited schools. To enable this we offer all regular full-time and part-time employees* time off with pay for at least 2 days or 16 hours per calendar year (pro-rated for part-time staff). *Part-time employees are eligible if their regularly scheduled hours are 20 or more per week. Multiply the number of hours worked in a day by two; the result is the annual number of hours eligible for paid time off to volunteer (4 hours a day x 2 = 8 hours a year). GUIDELINES FOR VOLUNTEERING Volunteering during working hours is at your manager’s discretion and subject to the needs of the business. You should obtain your manager’s approval to use paid time off to volunteer and then log your paid volunteer hours into My Community. For full details of how to apply for volunteering, read our My Volunteer FAQ in My Community. RECOGNIZED CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS Through this policy and our programs we support organizations that are registered as a charity not-for-profit or tax exempt organizations and accredited schools.

  • Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving René Bekkers
    Eight Mechanisms That Drive Charitable Giving* René Bekkers and Pamala Wiepking An overwhelming body of knowledge is available on philanthropy in the social sciences. Research on philanthropy appears in journals from very different disciplines. We present an overview of research on determinants of charitable giving from all disciplines. Why Do People Give? Experiments in economics, sociology, social psychology, biology, and marketing have shown how situations can be created that encourage giving. The situations in these experiments are created by researchers, which allows for causal inferences about determinants of giving. From these experiments, conclusions can be drawn about why people give. We reviewed this literature and identify eight mechanisms as the key mechanisms that have been studied as determinants of philanthropy. They are (a) awareness of need; (b) solicitation; (c) costs and benefits; (d) altruism; (e) reputation; (f) psychological benefits; (g) values; (h) efficacy. Below we present the eight mechanisms that drive giving. The order in which the eight mechanisms are presented does not reflect the importance or causal strength of the mechanisms. Rather, the order corresponds to the chronological order in which they affect giving in the typical act of donation. For each mechanism, we present the main effect. In many cases, these main effects can be moderated (or sometimes mediated) by other factors. Moderating factors are factors that weaken or strengthen the effect of the mechanism: conditions or personal characteristics that interact with the main effect. Mechanism 1: Awareness of Need Awareness of need is a first prerequisite for philanthropy. People have to become aware of a need for support.

  • Celeb Charit Forbesy
    Celeb Charity The Truth About Celebrity Benefit Concerts Dorothy Pomerantz, 01.26.10, 01:00 PM EST Sometimes celebrities are the best people to rally donors. In Pictures: The Biggest Celebrity Benefit Hauls LOS ANGELES -- Friday night's Hope for Haiti Now concert was a huge success, raising $57 million so far for organizations like Oxfam America, the Red Cross and UNICEF that are working to help victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake. Organized by actor George Clooney and musician Wyclef Jean, the event was a star- studded, bicoastal concert featuring performances from U2, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, among others. We've come to expect celebrities to rally with a big concert event in the wake of a tragedy. Benefit concerts have been in vogue since 1985's Live Aid, which raised $245 million for famine relief in Ethiopia. In Pictures: The Biggest Celebrity Benefit Hauls At the same time, it's natural to feel a bit cynical watching Madonna in a fancy leather jacket, with a face seemingly improved by thousands of dollars' worth of plastic surgery, singing and asking viewers to donate small sums to help people in Haiti who are hurt, homeless and starving. She's clearly rich (according to our last Celebrity 100 list, Madonna earned $110 million between June 2008 and June 2009). Why doesn't she just donate some of her own millions to those suffering in Haiti? According to Paul Schervish, director of the Center on Wealth and Philanthropy at Boston College, by appearing in the Hope for Haiti Now concert a star like Madonna can raise more money and create more happiness than she could have by just donating on her own.

  • Section 501 on the Ground That All of Its Profits Are Payable to One Or More Organizations Exempt from Taxation Under Section 501
    F. IRC 502 - FEEDER ORGANIZATIONS 1. Introduction An organization described in IRC 502 does not qualify for exemption under any paragraph of IRC 501(c). The purpose of this article is to discuss some of the basic issues presented by IRC 502, to explain how it should be interpreted and applied, and to consider the amount of unrelated business activity that an exempt charitable organization may engage in. IRC 502 provides that an organization operated for the primary purpose of carrying on a trade or business for profit shall not be exempt under IRC 501 on the ground that all of its profits are payable to one or more organizations exempt under IRC 501. 2. Purpose of Feeder Provisions A brief consideration of the reasons for the enactment of IRC 502 provides some insight as to how it should be interpreted. There was growing concern, particularly after World War II, about the increasing amount of business activities carried on by exempt organizations, particularly, charitable organizations. In a series of cases involving taxable years prior to 1951, certain organizations popularly called "feeder organizations" were held exempt from federal income tax under the predecessor to IRC 501(c)(3), even though their sole activity was engaging in commercial business, and the only basis for exemption was the fact their profits were payable to specified exempt organizations. See Roche's Beach, Inc. v. Commissioner, 96 F. 2d 776 (1938); C. F. Mueller Company v. Commissioner, 190 F. 2d 120 (1951). The courts held that the exclusive purpose required by the statute was met when the only object of the organization was religious, scientific, charitable, or educational, without regard to the method of obtaining funds necessary to effectuate the objective.

  • Piton Wealth Raises Over $5,000 at Benefit Concert with Singer-Songwriter James Lanman ______
    PITON WEALTH RAISES OVER $5,000 AT BENEFIT CONCERT WITH SINGER-SONGWRITER JAMES LANMAN _____________________________________________________________________ 16 July 2019 (KENNEWICK, WA) For two decades Michelle Clary and her team have operated in wealth management in the Tri-Cities, first as an affiliate practice of Fortune 500 company Thrivent Financial and as of 2018, the CEO and founder of Piton Wealth. It isn’t difficult to see how Clary and her team have consistently ranked in the upper 1% of Thrivent practices in client satisfaction. Taking an active role in the local community and bringing people together for a good cause seems to be second nature for a company that revolves so heavily around encouraging clients to thrive both personally and professionally. In 2017, Michelle and her husband Andy opened their home to singer-songwriter James Lanman who was on a living room concert tour across the US and Canada, where he performed for a mix of their clients and friends. The following year, Michelle had the idea to leverage the draw of live music, food from local eatery, Porter’s Real BBQ, and their expansive network by turning it into a fundraiser. Teaming up with Lanman to sell tickets to his performance at their home, Piton Wealth then matches all ticket sales from the concert to raise money for the Tri-County Habitat for Humanity branch, where Andy also serves on the board. They also have a tradition of a side contest where guests bring their A-game side dishes and judges select the top 3 winners. Now in its third year, what has affectionately become known as “Kennewoodstock” between Lanman and Clary, has become quite the event.

  • 1 Understanding the Critical Section
    Understanding the Critical Section 509(a) Classification for Auxiliary Organizations Each auxiliary organization should have an IRS tax-exemption determination letter that the entity is an IRC §501(c)(3) – as a charitable organization -- and classifying it into one of the three (3) “public charity” subsets under Section §509(a).1 The §509(a) subset is where the Internal Revenue Code defines a “private foundation” by listing entities that are not private foundations. Under §509(a), an organization is presumed to be a private foundation unless it can prove that it is a public charity based upon its activities. The §509(a) subset classification typically is set when the organization applies for tax-exempt status. But reclassifications can occur with the filing of a change on the IRS Form 990, or as a result a perceived change in the role/function of the organization. Each §509(a) subset involves certain qualification “tests” and the subsets are not necessarily mutually exclusive – that is an organization might fit within any one of the three subsets. Section 509(a)(1) “publicly supported organizations” are the most common “public charities.” They typically include educational organizations, churches, hospitals, and public institutions, or organizations for the benefit of colleges and universities. The qualifying test for a 509(a)(1) organization is that it must receive a substantial part (receive at least one-third) of its support from a governmental unit or from the general public, and be organized and operated exclusively to receive, hold, invest, and administer property and make expenditures to or for the benefit of a governmental unit.
