The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office is pleased to announce the 2017 Nebraska Charities Conference: A View from the Regulators. The conference, to be held at Bellevue University on February 9, 2017, will provide an overview of state laws applicable to charitable entities and assets, plus other helpful information. The conference is intended for executive directors, nonprofit corporation office staff, nonprofit board members, attorneys, accountants, and all others interested in state regulation of charitable assets and entities. Attending attorneys and accountants will be eligible for CLE and CPE credits respectively. Presenters will include representatives from the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office, Nebraska Department of Revenue, Nebraska Charitable Gaming Division of the Nebraska Department of Revenue, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Nebraska Counsel for Discipline. Additional information about the conference and a link to the agenda can be found below.

The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office is also pleased to announce an update to the charities section of its website at protectthegoodlife.nebraska.gov.  The website now allows for the electronic submission of certain documents and notices required by law to be provided to the Attorney General’s Office, including but not limited to, annual form 990-PFs, notice regarding a nonprofit dissolution, and notice regarding a charitable trust. These additions supplement the material regarding charities available on the website including an online complaint form to submit if you suspect wrongdoing by a charitable entity or misuse of charitable assets, tips for donors regarding wise giving, and additional information regarding nonprofit corporations, charitable trusts, and endowment funds.  These changes will make working with the Attorney General’s Office more efficient for Nebraska’s charitable sector.
