ONLINE COURSE DESCRIPTION

The 2024 Election Ready Cohort

Multi-entity work is challenging! Leadership and operations staff must navigate a complex web of legal, compliance, and operational systems in a fast and changing election-year environment that can endanger the tax status of your 501(c)(s) non-profit.

If you think about operations and compliance, then this course is designed with you in mind. Apply to join a community of like-minded operations folks and get support with step-by-step guidance, hands-on resources, and weekly group conversations about the common challenges of multi-entity power-building. 

We are building a passionate community of social justice leaders creating the operational capacity to do bold work safely and compliantly during election years.

  • Lead bold, impactful, and compliant civic engagement work: Understand how to develop smart, impactful, and compliant strategies for multi-entity civic engagement work during election years.   
  • Build a culture of compliance: Engage your team in building a culture of compliance across your family of organizations to protect your 501(c)(3).

  • Conduct compliant financial management across entities: Learn how to plan and manage financial assets across your family of legal entities.
