This is related to what to share when it comes to social media, in this case, Facebook/IG (should be connected). Many nonprofit leaders like yourself have said, "I hate social media!" While I understand that, I'm not sure where the disconnect is that the millions, probably at least a billion accounts, are on social media. Those accounts are real human beings, no matter the reason. As a nonprofit leader, if we stay focused, we will post information relevant to our target audience and our mission. This is the post I saw and shared, which has led to a share by someone who is an educator and has some special programs within the school she teaches. She also has a wide reach within the community. Allow me to preface the shared post with my statement above the post... I’m not sure why it matters whether it’s a group of Democrats or Republicans but at the end of the day attending public meetings about the schools should be priority within the communities that it affects. #VoteLocal ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ TENNESSEE RANKS 51ST IN EDUCATION SPENDING: Tennessee now ranks 51st in the nation for K-12 investment, according to the 2026 Rankings and Estimates Report from the National Education Association. It’s a ranking that is fueling sharp debate at the State Capitol over funding priorities and the future of public education. The report places the Volunteer State 51st in per-pupil spending, behind every other state and the District of Columbia. Democrats are calling the ranking an embarrassment, pointing to what they describe as a growing gap between funding for public schools and the expansion of private school vouchers.

Since I didn't see you there, I'm sharing the recording.😁 Oh yeah, this is the raw and uncut version. May get a few laughs here and there, but it's done!!!🚀

If you’ve been quietly reading, learning, or even feeling a little stuck...this is for you. I’m hosting a Reset & Clarity Call for members of this community who want to pause, take a breath, and get clear on what their nonprofit actually needs next. This is not a sales call. It’s a clarity conversation. We're going to talk honestly about: - What this free community is designed to do (and what it is not) - Why most nonprofit leaders stay stuck even when they have access to information - The difference between learning mode and execution mode - What your next best step might actually be This session is especially helpful if: You’ve been in the community for a while but haven’t taken action yet You’re consuming information but not seeing momentum You’re unsure whether free resources are enough or if you need more structure You want honest guidance without being pushed into anything What This Call Is Not ❌ Not a pitch ❌ Not a training overload ❌ Not a “join now or else” conversation Just clarity.

A community nonprofit is attempting a comeback after shutting down due to financial instability and missed tax filings that led to loss of tax-exempt status. A major fundraising push is now underway to stabilize operations and rebuild trust. Read more here. Donor support can return. Regulatory credibility is harder to rebuild. Angle (Compliance + Fundraising): Compliance is not administrative. It is existential. Strong fundraising cannot compensate for weak filings, poor oversight, or delayed reporting. The organizations that last are the ones that treat compliance as part of their funding strategy, not separate from it. The deadline is here, but it is not too late to file your nonprofit's annual filings. Did you know it takes 3 years for the IRS to revoke your status? So please don't procrastinate. If you do NOT know your status, you can check it here

Filing due date Form 990-N is due every year by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of your tax year. You cannot file the e-Postcard until after your tax year ends. Example: If your tax year ended on December 31, the e-Postcard is due May 15 of the following year. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the due date is the next business day. If your revenue is under $50,000 you may fill out the e-Postcard Submitting Form 990-N (e-Postcard) To access the Form 990-N Electronic Filing system: Sign in/create an account with Login.gov or ID.me: The IRS requires a Login.gov or an ID.me account to submit Form 900-N. Form 990-N filers should use the same email address associated with their IRS account.

Most common problems can be avoided by following the User Guide. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/epostcard/ You do NOT need an accountant if your revenue is under $50,000. How else do you know if you should file the e-Postcard/990N? It's on your determination letter when your organization was determined that it was an exempt entity. I copied and pasted everything from here, https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/annual-electronic-filing-requirement-for-small-exempt-organizations-form-990-n-e-postcard Remember, after 3 years of not filing, your organization's exempt status will be revoked. They have been doing this for over a decade and it is stated within your determination letter.
