140: Serenity Now | Can the President Seize a Nonprofit's Assets?


Listen Later

On this episode of Charity Therapy, we're answering the big question on a LOT of nonprofit leaders' minds - what can the president really do to a nonprofit? We're getting to the answer, but first - remember to take a deep breath and take care of yourself before taking any action for your nonprofit!

There's a lot of fear and uncertainty about what kind of measures the Trump administration could take against nonprofit. It's easy to get lost in the conspiracy theories and "creative" ways to protect your mission. But no longer! Meghan and I break down the legal boundaries and explain why panic-driven decisions aren't the way to go. We're here to debunk myths about the government seizing assets. So, if you're feeling lost in today's nonprofit landscape, join us for a dose of reassurance and a few laughs along the way.

In this episode, you will hear:
  • What powers the president has over individual nonprofits

  • What circumstances (if any) that could lead to the government seizing nonprofit assets

  • How nonprofit leaders can take care of themselves during times of stress

  • Why some of the "creative ideas" to protect your nonprofit aren't a good idea

  • A simple and effective step you CAN take right now
