Philadelphia, PA
Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce 200 S. Broad Street Suite 700 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102

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.
