Greetings everyone.  I recently ran into an old friend from my very first association.  We were both starting our careers in the early 1970s, he as a salesman for one of our member manufacturers and me as a neophyte association executive.  I use the term “executive” lightly, as I was, at the time, the number three person in a three person organization.

 Membership associations are facing the increased challenge of raising non-dues revenue to keep their organizations afloat. For this reason, the art and science of soliciting sponsorships, foundation grants, and contributions from individual donors has become an essential skill for executives of these organizations. In reviewing the concepts below, keep in mind that the greatest predictor of success is the quality of our communications in asking others to collaborate with us in creating positive outcomes. What you are about to learn will apply to every part of your life as asking is something that we do every day with almost everyone we encounter.

After starting and selling a company I started in Silicon Valley – Women’s Financial Network – I was waiting for the right next big thing. I had the ah-ha when I was in Davos. There couldn’t be a better time for a business and innovation academy delivered live, online.

Got a friend or colleague who can benefit from the events, education programs and community that NYSAE provides? Tell them about this special offer to try us out for six months!

That's right, two for the price of one. How often do you see a deal that good?! 

Two individuals must join together between December 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020 to take advantage of this offer. Their dues, already prorated for the second half of the member year (Dec./Jan. through June 30), will now be half that amount; a huge savings. The two individuals can be from the same or different organizations, join as the same or different member types, and pay their dues separately or together. Former NYSAE members who have been inactive for at least four months may also take advantage of this offer.
For more information or to sign up, contact NYSAE at Info@nysaenet.org or 212-297-2197 today!  This offer is not available online. Please note that this offer cannot be used with any other discount offers.

Do you have members posting content on your blogs, supporters sharing photos on your website, or any other third parties providing content directly to your website? If so, you need to renew your Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Designated Agent designation with the Copyright Office. (If you are unfamiliar with the DMCA Designated Agent concept, please read the explanation below.) Any nonprofit that may have previously qualified for the safe harbor from liability for copyright infringement under Section 512 of the DMCA will lose any ability to claim this safe harbor if the nonprofit does not renew its designation of agent within three years of the last online filing (or amendment). This is coming up soon, assuming your nonprofit did this correctly between December 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017. As we have noted previously, nonprofits are not immune from copyright infringement liability simply because of their nonprofit status.

Congress is preparing to pass a temporary spending bill to keep the government running through December 20. That continuing resolution could be a vehicle for repealing a burdensome nonprofit benefits tax, say ASAE and the UBIT Coalition. In a letter to House and Senate leaders delivered November 13, ASAE and its UBIT Coalition urged lawmakers to include repeal of the 21 percent tax on parking and transportation benefits that tax-exempt organizations provide to employees in the short-term continuing resolution that Congress is set to pass in the next few days.
