Congressional Investigations Are Coming. Is Your Nonprofit Ready?
In the wake of President Trump’s threats to revoke the nonprofit status of some organizations and demands for an investigation of the Open Society Foundations, many nonprofit leaders and organizations representing the sector are concerned that the government is singling out the sector for attack. Worry is so prevalent that the issue was the subject of discussion and a session at the Independent Sector National Summit late last month.
