Doing good and generating revenues should not be mutually exclusive. Private foundations are subject to "excess business holding rules" which essentially prohibit "disqualified parties" from owning more than 35% of the voting ownership of an operating business owned by the private foundation, if non-disqualified parties own and have majority (or effective) control of aforementioned business. Otherwise, a disqualified party may only own up to 20% of the businesses. There are workarounds around this prohibition utilizing non-voting ownerships of operating businesses and some other charitable vehicles that are pretty powerful, check off all the boxes and avoid violating the rules.

F&P (Fundraising & Philanthropy) have released the third article by our Managing Director Morgan Koegel: 'How to improve your Gifts in Wills forecasting'. This article covers our thoughts on the difficulties of forecasting income from bequests and how finance and GIW teams can better work together.

The issue of how subcontractors are used in fundraising has once again hit the headlines and for all the wrong reasons.    The team at Sayer Vincent is well-placed to provide assurance on how the risks around working with subcontractors can be successfully managed and here, our Senior Risk and Assurance Manager Arlene Clapham examines the subject in more detail ➡ https://lnkd.in/e8ma-m_3   #fundraising #charityfinance #fundraisingethics

With the Fundraising Regulator having again criticised the how two charities have used subcontractors in their fundraising efforts, it feels timely to share my most recent blog article that examines this very topic.    It’s worth remembering that the use of subcontractors in fundraising isn’t inherently wrong or bad, but it does need to be approached with due consideration for how the potential risks associated with it are managed – that’s where the team at Sayer Vincent can help.    #fundraising #charityfinance #fundraisingethics

As part of our commitment to supporting the Neilcott team, we are helping staff develop their own skills and knowledge around the importance of mental health, and have encouraged our team to undertake the valuable Mental Health Awareness Course, provided by the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. Thank you to all that have taken part and to those that have signed up for the Lighthouse Charity's Suicide Awareness Training Course, taking place over the next few weeks. We are big advocators of making wellbeing support more visible within the construction industry, and are eager to reinforce our workforce with the skills that they need to help themselves, and their colleagues. Training covers signs to look out for to know when others are struggling, coping techniques, ways to support yourself and others and steps to move forward. We encourage everyone within the construction industry to educate themselves around the importance of mental wellbeing, remain alert and recognise when others are struggling. In a world where workers in construction have a suicide rate of 3.7x higher than the national average, it is more important than ever. There are still many slots available for The Lighthouse Charity's next training course on Suicide Awareness, book your spot now. #Neilcott #Construction #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthTraining #LighthouseCharity #SuicideAwareness #MentalWellbeing
