The free online workshop - Stay Exempt - Tax Basics for 501(c)(3)s - consists of five interactive modules on tax compliance topics for exempt organizations:
Tax-Exempt Status - How can you keep your 501(c)(3) exempt?
Unrelated Business Income - Does your organization generate taxable income?
Employment Issues - How should you treat your workers for tax purposes?
Form 990 - Would you like to file an error-free return?
Required Disclosures - To whom do you have to show your records?
Users can access this new training program at
www.stayexempt.org.
Users can complete the modules in any
order and repeat them as many times as they like. The online training website does not require registration

Ways to Help
As you may know DAWG recently moved into a building in Charleston – 1605 Washington Street West. Prior to this they have been operating out of the Executive Director's house. Due to the move into a larger space and the addition of a VISTA and office volunteers, many items are needed. Please look at the list to see if there is anything you can donate.
