Program Description: Sometimes well-intentioned and seemingly acceptable fundraising activities can run afoul of the law, even without a nonprofit knowing it is breaking the law. But ignorance of the law is no defense against an investigation into illegal fundraising activities. Come to this class to learn more about some of the fundraising-related laws that you need to know about, including:

• State regulations for registration of fundraising activities (in Missouri and other states);
• What it means to “solicit” contributions from state-to-state, and the ramifications of illegal or misleading solicitations;
• How to avoid violating do-not-call laws;
• Protection of restricted assets and endowments;
• How to tell whether your gambling-related fundraising activity is a form of legal gaming or illegal gambling
