Privacy | Corcoran Revisited | IRS Research Tool | Fundraising Trends |. . . <\/em><\/p>\n

I thought I would start out this month\u2019s blog update by mentioning a hot topic – privacy. I want you to know that your email address associated with these blog postings will never be shared without your permission.<\/p>\n

Corcoran Collection Giveaway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 13, \u201cIntegration of Managing and the Arts,\u201d ended with a Case Study entitled \u201cCrisis at the Corcoran\u201d which told the sad story of a museum\u2019s struggle to keep the doors open. The case study was included in the fifth edition to demonstrate what can happen when an organization is not led and managed effectively. The Corcoran saga continues to be a fascinating and complex story. The Artnet\u00ae News<\/em> update I came across includes a sunny sounding public statement by the current chair of the board of trustees. A colorful infographic was also created to convey a positive message that the Corcoran\u2019s collection will still be exhibited mostly in the DC area.<\/p>\n

The New IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (TEOS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came across a recent post at the ThinkAdvisor.com<\/a><\/em> website about the new IRS search tool and its potential impact on the donor community. I proceeded to the IRS website to check out the new TEOS tool<\/a>. The IRS website advises you that the \u201cSearch All\u201d database is not working properly. That is not a promising start. I next went to the search form<\/a> to take the new tool for a test drive. I did not find myself enjoying my user experience. For example, if you don\u2019t know the organization\u2019s EIN code, you better know its DBA (Doing Business As) name or your search might be unproductive. I would be interested in hearing your reaction to the new tool. Go ahead and give it a try. For the time being, I am keeping my GuideStar premium access account active.<\/p>\n

Digital Fundraising Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the world of digital fundraising has evolved beyond the coverage in chapter 12 in the fifth edition (2014), I thought you might find some value is this TechSoup<\/a><\/em> posting about techniques that are being used to \u201cbetter engage with supporters and raise more money.\u201d I think discussing these trends would be a useful exercise. For example, the posting does not offer any downside to deploying these eight trends. Maybe some of these trends might be better suited than others when it comes to connecting with the arts and culture donors? Applying a little critical thinking to the trends seems like a worthwhile activity to me.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for subscribing to the Management<\/em> and the Arts<\/em> updates.<\/p>\n

New IRS Tool Lets Taxpayers Research Charities<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
The all-in-one search tool is designed to provide easier, faster access to public information.<\/h6>\n

By Michael Fischer | May 11, 2018 – 10:34 AM | thinkadvisor.com<\/p>\n

The Internal Revenue Service this week rolled out Tax Exempt Organization Search, an online search engine that it said was designed to facilitate and expedite access to publicly available information about exempt groups.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis new tool provides taxpayers an easy way to get information about charitable organizations,\u201d Acting IRS Commissioner David Kautter said in a statement. \u201cTax-exempt organizations play a critical role in our nation, and this will provide greater insight for people considering donations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

TEOS replaces EO Select Check, a six-year-old tool that mainly provided information on an organization\u2019s tax-exempt status. EO Select itself replaced Pub 78, a cumulative list of exempt organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n
