Description

 

Consider the efficacy of Act 71, a law which provides charities a three-year authorization to spend up to 10% of the value of an endowment fund instead of the current maximum of 7%.

Highlights

  • Changes resulting from Act 71: is the new 10% raised ceiling good or not?
  • Best practices in structuring endowments, reserve funds, naming rights, and gift acceptances
