The 2011 New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence Awards

The 2011 New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence Awards will kick off this fall with a series of application clinics and Pathways to Excellence workshops for prospective applicants and other nonprofit leaders. The annual competition, now in its fifth year, honors excellence in nonprofit management. The application deadline is 9am, Monday, November 15.

The Awards recognize management excellence and encourage innovation among New York’s large and diverse nonprofit community, and are a program of The New York Times Company Community Affairs Department, NPCC and Philanthropy New York.

All 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the New York City area are invited to apply. The Awards program is your opportunity to tell all New Yorkers what your organization accomplishes and how you manage to make it possible. The Awards application process informs managers about what it takes to achieve management excellence in a nonprofit organization.

NPCC will hold seven application clinics throughout the New York City area in September and October to help applicants better understand the program and prepare appropriate proposals. Prospective applicants are encouraged to attend one of the one-hour clinics on the application process to better understand the program.

In conjunction with the clinics there will be seven educational Pathways to Excellence workshops during which previous winners will discuss the management strategies that helped them win. Each Pathways session will address one of the following topics: Governance Structure That Moves the Organization Forward; Diversity and Responsiveness; Effective and Ethical Fundraising Practices; Strong, Transparent and Accountable Financial Management; Enlightened Use of Human Resources; Management Focus on Results; and, Regular and Effective Communications and Technology.

Details on the location and topics of the Pathways to Excellence sessions are at www.npccny.org/workshop.htm and at www.nycharities.org/event/c_event.asp?CharityCode=1216, where you can also register.

The 2011 guidelines and application are at http://nytawards.fcny.org. More about the awards is also at www.npccny.org/info/awards.htm, including the Awards’ guiding document, Seven Areas of Nonprofit Excellence, past winners, funders, and selection committee members.

 

Nonprofit Outsourcing Clearinghouse

Has your organization ever thought about outsourcing any “backoffice functions” such as financial management, IT, HR, etc.? Are you unsure of where to begin, how to evaluate providers, cost savings, or the work involved? If so, you should be sure to complete NPCC’s brief survey on outsourcing.

NPCC is launching a Nonprofit Outsourcing Clearinghouse program designed to help nonprofit leaders evaluate the potential value of outsourcing one or more of their back-office functions. Fifty nonprofits will be chosen to receive free assessments that will help them take stock of their current back office arrangements, whether in-house or outsourced. If appropriate, the program will help them choose potential outsourcing providers.

We need your help. Please complete a very short survey. Tell us about your experience with outsourcing and if you’d like to be considered to be one of the 50 organizations to participate in the assessment of outsourcing needs. We are also planning to compile as many as possible of the names and key information about companies and individuals that provide outsourcing functions for nonprofits in a publically searchable database.

The survey is at www.surveymonkey.com/s/OutsourcingClearinghouse. A more complete description of the program is at www.npccny.org/newslet.htm#b and on the survey site. If you have additional questions about the program contact Marcia Brown, director of programs at NPCC at 212-502-4191, extension 27 or mbrown@npccny.org.

 

NPCC 2010 Salary Survey

NPCC has published the results of its 2010 Salary Survey undertaken on behalf of its members. The Survey, with over 470 responses, is the preeminent and largest survey of New York City-area 501(c)(3) nonprofits.

“This valuable survey is a useful tool for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations seeking to comply with the IRS intermediate sanctions rules and for board and finance committees doing salary comparisons of highly compensated staff members,” notes NPCC president, Michael Clark.

Completed responses for the survey were received from 470 NPCC member nonprofits and are included in the analysis. Salary data were asked for four top positions: executive director, deputy director, development director, and chief financial officer. In addition, salary data for administrative assistants were requested.

Aggregated salary data are arrayed in three ways: by budget size; by organization type (arts, health, education, etc.) within budget size; and by number of full-time staff.

The survey also polled nonprofits about recent salary increases or decreases in addition to projected salary increases or decreases.

Almost 40 percent of respondents reported annual operating budgets less than $1 million; just over 32 percent had annual budgets between $1 and $4.9 million; 12.6 percent reported budgets between $5 and $9.9 million; and 15.7 percent reported budgets between $10 and $90 million. Thirty-seven percent of respondents came from health and human services groups; public/societal benefit organizations accounted for 20% of respondents as did arts/cultural/humanities groups. Eighteen percent of respondents had one or two full-time staff members, and at the other end of the spectrum, 5.5 percent had 200 or more full-time staff.

The 2010 NPCC Salary Survey results are available for no charge to NPCC members at www.npccny.org/members_only/2010SalarySurvey.pdf. Thanks to all the members that participated and helped make the survey possible.

 

Postage Increase

In early July, the U.S. Postal Service announced that it was seeking to increase postage rates on most categories of mail, including first class and Standard Mail. Rates would not increase before January 2011.

A first-class stamp would increase from 44 cents to 46, and Standard Mail would increase, on average around 5%. Non-letter shaped packages would face the most extreme increases.

The rate increase has to be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission which is expected to rule on the proposed increase in October. The Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers and the newly formed Affordable Mail Alliance are currently fighting the increase.

 

Affordable Care Act

Starting in tax year 2011, the Affordable Care Act requires employers to report the value of the health insurance coverage they provide employees on each employee’s annual Form W-2. This reporting is for informational purposes only, to show employees the value of their health care benefits so they can be more informed consumers. The amount reported does not affect tax liability, as the value of the employer contribution to health coverage continues to be excludable from an employee’s income and it is not taxable.

The IRS offers more pointers about the Act at www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=220809,00.html?portlet=6.

 

IRS on Contributions

The IRS has released a revision of Publication 1771, Charitable Contributions: Substantiation and Disclosure Requirements, that explains the federal tax law for organizations that receive tax-deductible charitable contributions and for taxpayers who make contributions. It explains the record-keeping and substantiation rules imposed on donors of charitable contributions and disclosure rules imposed on charities that receive certain quid pro quo disclosures. It’s available at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1771.pdf.

 

Federal Register Site

The Federal Register unveiled a new website that allows users to find proposed and final rules more easily than its previous site.

The site, Federal Register 2.0, allows users to sort documents in a variety of ways such as proposed or final rule, date of publication, agency, or topic.

Regulations.gov, the main e-rulemaking website, already contains nearly all documents published in the Federal Register. It also may contain public comments filed on proposed rules and, in some cases, supporting information and documents that go into agencies’ decisions on rules. But, for Federal Register documents, the new site should provide quicker and easier access to documents. FederalRegister.gov has the capacity to integrate itself with Regulations.gov. If a FederalRegister.gov user happens upon a rule with an open comment period, the site includes a link to information on how to comment. In some cases, the link takes users to the page on Regulations.gov where they can submit a comment online. The site is at www.federalregister.gov.

 

NPCC’s 25th Anniversary

NPCC will celebrate its 25th Anniversary with an Awards Dinner at the University Club on Monday, October 25. Since our founding, NPCC has been a staunch advocate for all New York nonprofits and a provider of management support and cost savings for its nearly 1,700 member organizations. Today, NPCC is the largest single nonprofit umbrella and service organization in the New York City area. We are proud of the real difference we have made to thousands of nonprofit organizations working to make our world a better place.

The 25th Anniversary Awards Dinner will spotlight the public service of two exceptional leaders in our sector: Karen Davis, President of The Commonwealth Fund, and Miriam Buhl, Pro Bono Counsel at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Net proceeds will support NPCC’s work.

Please join us on October 25 in celebrating this important milestone: a quarter-century protecting and serving New York’s nonprofit sector. A reception will begin at 6:30pm and dinner and the program will start at 7:30pm. Tickets begin at $500 and tables for ten are available.

For more information on tickets and sponsorship opportunities, go to www.nycharities.org/events/EventLevels.aspx?ETID=1565 or call Aditi Davray at 212-502-4191, extension 25.

 

IRS 990 Filing Relief for Late Filers

If your nonprofit raises less than $25,000 annually and did not file an IRS Form 990-N for the last three years, your last chance to do so and not lose your tax-exempt status is October 15.

Nationwide, it is estimated that several thousand smaller nonprofits that are required to file this form will be struck from the rolls. Many may not even be aware that they are in jeopardy of losing their tax-exempt status. Especially at risk are small, volunteer-run groups that may not even know they are a 501(c)(3) entity registered with the IRS. Prior to 1996, nonprofits with annual revenues less than $25,000 were not required to file a Form 990. Since then, they are required to annually file a 990-N which asks for very basic information and does not include any financial filing.

The IRS has announced that organizations at risk of losing their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required returns for 2007, 2008, and 2009 can maintain their exempt status by filing returns by Friday, October 15.

Two types of relief are available for small organizations: a filing extension for the those required to file Form 990-N, and a voluntary compliance program for small organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ. For more, go to www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=225702,00.html.

 

Challenges in Leadership

On Monday, November 1 from 5-6:30pm, Fordham University will present Fred Scaglione, founder and editor of New York Nonprofit Press, as he discusses nonprofit leadership positions in today’s economy. The seminar will explore various themes: where the jobs are, attracting mainstream media attention, the public’s perception of the nonprofit sector and thinking big during a recession. The Fordham Center for Nonprofit Leaders is a new training initiative jointly sponsored by the Graduate School of Social Service and the Graduate School of Business Administration.

The free session will be held in the 12th floor Faculty Lounge, Lowenstein Building, Fordham University, 113 West 60th Street. To register, contact Elaine Congress at congress@fordham.edu or 212-636-6667.

Nonprofit Outsourcing Clearinghouse Program

NPCC is launching a Nonprofit Outsourcing Clearinghouse Program designed to explore the potential value of outsourcing back-office functions to help nonprofits save money and improve management quality. In order to help you, we need your help. To help identify nonprofits’ most pressing management needs and to help identify groups that may be interested in free one-on-one consultation, we ask that you complete a brief survey.

The purpose of this program is to help small to midsized nonprofits assess their need for and capacity to outsource one or more of their management functions, such as: information technology; bookkeeping and financial management; marketing and communications; fundraising; purchasing; real estate management; risk management; legal services; and employment and human resources.

Fifty nonprofits that choose to enroll in the program will receive free assessments to help them take stock of current in-house and other back-office services arrangements, the adequacy of available services to meet their organizational needs, current costs of such services, and potential savings available through outsourcing one or more such services. They will also receive help in selecting appropriate potential outsourcing services and providers.

A free, publicly searchable database of outsourcing providers serving the NYC area, with baseline pricing, available discounts, annual delivery capacity, and quality and customer satisfaction profiles also will be made available, as will a free Nonprofit Guide to Outsourcing Services with criteria for assessing an individual nonprofit’s needs and potential for outsourcing, as well as for vetting and selecting such services. Tools for monitoring financial savings and quality impact over time will also be available.

Groups that express interest in the free, customized consultations will be asked to complete a more in-depth Request for Participation application at a later date.

To complete the initial survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/OutsourcingClearinghouse.

If you have any questions about the program, contact Marcia Brown, director of programs at NPCC at 212-502-4191, extension 27 or mbrown@npccny.org.

 

2011 Times Nonprofit Excellence Awards Clinics

The 2011 New York Times Company Nonprofit Excellence Awards will kick off this fall with a series of application clinics and workshops for prospective applicants. The annual competition, now in its fifth year, honors excellence in nonprofit management. The application deadline is 9am, Monday, November 15.

The Awards are a program of The New York Times Community Affairs Department, NPCC and Philanthropy New York.

All 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the New York City area are invited to apply. This is your opportunity to tell all New Yorkers what your organization accomplishes and how you manage to make it possible. The Awards application process informs managers about what it takes to achieve management excellence in a nonprofit organization.

IRS Requests Comments

The IRS is requesting comments on how to most effectively carry out a law that, starting in 2012, will require businesses (including nonprofits) to report a wider range of payments to contractors, vendors and others, usually on IRS Form 1099. Currently, businesses are required to file 1099s for payments to independent contractors, but not for goods from vendors.

As part of health care reform legislation passed earlier this year, a proposed regulation will require reporting of business purchases to be reported on Form 1099. Payments made with credit or debit cards would be exempt from the new reporting requirement because they are already reported by banks and other payment processors.

The IRS seeks comments on additional circumstances in which duplicate reporting might otherwise occur and on rules that would prevent such duplicate reporting. Submit comments by email to notice.comments@irscounsel.treas.gov (include “Notice 2010-51” in the subject line.) Or, mail to IRS, CC:PA:LPD:PR (Notice 2010-51), Room 5203, P.O. Box 7604, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044.

The deadline to submit comments is Wednesday, September 29.

 

IRS on UBIT

The IRS recently released a revised edition of Publication 598, Tax on Unrelated Business Income of Exempt Organizations. The publication explains the rules that apply to the taxation of unrelated business income including the types of organizations that are subject to the tax and how to calculate unrelated business taxable income. It’s at www.irs.gov/publications/p598/index.html.

 

Government Contracting

The National Council of Nonprofits is conducting a study about government contracting with nonprofits. Late payments for contracted services is only one of many ways that governments shortchange nonprofits and exploit the contracting relationship. See the five worst government contracting abuses and let them know if you can add further documentation, if you’ve seen worse, or if you know of solutions that can help prevent these and other abuses. Go to www.councilofnonprofits.org/public-policy/national-council-policy-initiatives/government-contracts-grants/five-worst-government.

 

IRS Filing Relief

The Internal Revenue Service has announced that small nonprofit organizations at risk of losing their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required returns for 2007, 2008, and 2009 can preserve their exempt status by filing returns by Friday, October 15.

Two types of relief are available for small exempt organizations: a filing extension for the smallest organizations required to file Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard), and a voluntary compliance program (VCP) for small organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax.

For more, go to www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=225702,00.html.

Health Campaigns

She Decides: How to Reach the Most Important Audience for Your Health Campaign is a new guide from Fenton that discusses their research and offers suggestions about developing health campaigns that are marketed toward women.

Just women? Studies have shown that 80% of women make all health care-related decisions for their families. And, women donate, volunteer and pass along information more than men tend to. Even if your organization is working on a man’s health care issue, you shouldn’t overlook the possibility of marketing toward women. Women tend to be tougher customers than men: it may take 12 steps for a woman to make a decision while it will take only five for a man. Women tend to be more thorough decision-makers: they ask more questions and they read the fine print. So, if your campaign is geared toward women, it’ll most likely also reach men.

The guide is available at www.fenton.com.

 

Social Media

Idealware has published The Nonprofit Social Media Decision Guide, offering a step-by-step process to help decide what social media channels make sense for your organization via a workbook, guide, and the results of more than six months of research. It includes a consultant directory to find a professional to define and implement your strategy.

The guide explores social media and why they might be useful. It discusses how your goals, audiences, and metrics should drive the decision making process, and provides specific information on the tangible value nonprofits have seen in using Facebook, Twitter, blogs, photo and video sharing sites and more. It also discusses choosing an effective social media mix and integrating all your communications. It also includes a workbook to help work through all of this.

It’s available for free at www.idealware.org/reports/nonprofit-social-media-decision-guide.

 

Human Service Seminars

The Human Services Council is sponsoring free workshops on advocacy and current human service issues for both members and non-members of HSC.

Sessions will be held in Brooklyn on Wednesday, August 4; Manhattan on Tuesday, September 21; Queens on Thursday, September 16; and Staten Island on Tuesday, October 5. The 9:30-11am session, Human Services Contracting, Policy and Budget Update, addresses policy initiatives in the works that nonprofits should be aware of, including a standard human services contract that will replace all existing City contracts, the City’s technology plans that will impact the delivery of human services, and ongoing efforts to streamline the procurement process.

In the 11:30am-1pm session, Advocacy Training, participants will learn how to navigate the discretionary funding process and how to maintain relationships with elected officials. HSC will demystify the State and City budget processes and provide participants with insider information on how budgetary decisions are made. For locations, more information or to register, go to www.humanservicescouncil.org/hscroadshow.php.
