Nonprofit Services ProgramThis is an affordable membership program designed specially for nonprofit organizations that focuses on assistance with governance and compliance issues, revenue generation, and more. IRS Form 990 has recently been revised and although it still requires financial information as it did in the past, there are expanded reporting requirements, including information related to governance, oversight, and additional disclosures. According to Guidestar, “The revised Form 990 will require expanded recordkeeping and disclosure of information regarding the organization’s governance and administrative policies. The IRS’s intent is to improve the governance behaviors of organizations. With the current state of the economy in the forefront of all donors’ minds, the Form 990 is an important tool that donors can use to compare organizations. With donors’ ability to compare “apples to apples,” nonprofits will not want to have missed out on contributions simply because their response to questions regarding governance, oversight, and accountability were less favorable than those of other organizations competing for the same funds.” KLG Nonprofit Services Program can assist organizations with Form 990 compliance and more.
