In collaboration with Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia, the Exponent Philanthropy Local Engagement Group (LEG) invites you to join Philadelphia-area funders for a legal update with Andras Kosaras, Esq., Counsel at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP in Washington, DC.
Our country is in transition. With the shift of power in the White House, now is the time to learn about what changes may be on the horizon and be prepared for the potential impact they could have on your philanthropy and the work of your grantees. Mr. Kosaras will discuss the legal topics that are most likely to be the focus of the new administration, as he reviews state and federal laws that affect small foundations, including: fiduciary responsibilities, the charitable deduction, advocacy, and lobbying. You’ll leave this session knowing what you need to watch for in the news, and what you can do to keep your organization and your grantees well informed.
Following the program, join us for a networking happy hour at XIX to continue conversation and build relationships with your funding colleagues in the region. Light snacks will be provided. Beverages at your own expense.

ABOUT THE CO-SPONSORS:
- This is a joint session of Exponent Philanthropy’s Local Engagement Group (LEG) and Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia’s Small Funders Affinity Group. LEG programs provide opportunities for Exponent Philanthropy members to connect with and learn from other funders with few or no staff in their community. These programs are planned and hosted by members with support from both Exponent Philanthropy staff and regional associations.
- Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia is the region’s membership association for organizations and individuals active in philanthropy. Serving primarily Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester and Delaware counties, plus adjacent areas, Philanthropy Network champions the role of philanthropy in improving the quality of life in the region and educates and inspires members to do their best giving.
- Philanthropy Network’s Small Funders Affinity Group is comprised of members who self-identify as “small” due to either the grantmaking budget or staff size. The group convenes quarterly to share best practices and to discuss how to make the most impact with limited resources.
