AVOIDING UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES WHEN VOLUNTEERS HELP TOO MUCH
In their desire to help, volunteers sometimes take actions beyond the scope of the organization’s mission. A recent Minnesota Court of Appeals decision highlights how that can result in unintended liability for the volunteer and the nonprofit organization. This article examines that decision and outlines practical measures that nonprofits can take to ensure the organization clearly communicates the roles of volunteers within the scope of the organization's mission.
SAVE OUR STAGES ACT
The Small Business Administration recently announced that it will begin accepting applications on April 8, 2021, for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program. Our report on the Save Our Stages Act and SVOG program will help you understand the requirements for applying to receive an SVOG grant. As a pre-application measure, those wishing to apply for a grant under this program should immediately register their business in the System for Award Management (at SAM.gov).

Our pro bono services will be available first to Priority 1, and then Priority 2 applicants, and will be limited based on our capacity. Appointments will be available on a first come, first serve basis. We will begin accepting inquiries on April 2, 2021. Please call Connie Martin at (651)350-7836 for more information.
