The NSBA’s 2025 Nonprofit Seminar will review several important subjects for attorneys working with, for, or as a part of a nonprofit to know. Topics include investing insights for nonprofits, the use of volunteers, and donor-advised funds.

9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Investing Insights for Nonprofits
David Spinar, CPFA®, CRPC®, JD, RBC Wealth Management

A growing number of nonprofit organizations are interested in having investment portfolios, but many aren’t sure where to start or what the investment process may entail. This session will provide an overview of what attorneys should know about the process and how to work with an investment advisor.

10:05 a.m. – 11:05 a.m. Use of Volunteers
Kurth Brashear, Rembolt Ludtke LLP

Volunteers are a vital part of making any nonprofit organization successful. But who qualifies as a volunteer for a nonprofit? When does a volunteer become an employee? What personal liability extends to volunteers? Learn those answers and more during this session.
11:05 a.m. – 11:10 a.m. Break
11:10 a.m. – 12:10 p.m. Donor-Advised Funds

Lawyers play various roles in nonprofits, whether they're on boards, advising nonprofits and donors, or working for nonprofits. It's important for lawyers working with nonprofits in any capacity to know about donor-advised funds, and this session will cover the ins, outs, and important things to know about them.
