What is UBIT Anyway & How Much is Too Much?

PANO

Wednesday, July 17 1:30-3:00pm

Financially squeezed nonprofits often seek to generate new revenue through new business ventures. But such efforts can carry serious legal, as well as economic, risks. This webinar will explore the unrelated business income tax (UBIT), how to define it, how to avoid it, and how to deal with the consequences of having "too much" of it.

Regularly badgered by Congress to limit "unfair" competition with for-profit businesses, the Internal Revenue Service consistently looks to impose UBIT on unrelated business taxable income at nonprofit organizations, including facility rentals and travel tours at large institutions like colleges and universities, revenue from joint ventures with for-profits, gift shop income from museums, investment income from anyone's margin account, advertising revenue from small nonprofit organization newsletters, and everything in between. Nonprofits with substantial unrelated business income will have to pay substantial unrelated business income tax - and could even lose their tax-exempt status. This session will provide a basic understanding of the UBIT rules, give tips on structuring activities to avoid the revenue being classified as unrelated business income, allocating expenses to reduce net income, and restructuring to avoid the adverse consequences of "too much" of a winning commercial venture.

Avoiding the Adverse Consequences of UBIT

Accelerating Health Equity by Addressing Social and Structural Determinants of Health

July 17-18

Social determinants (or influencers) of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of structural and political forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. Some estimate that nearly 80% of physical and mental health outcomes are driven by social determinants. While the Philadelphia Trauma Training Conference focuses each year on the positive and negative ways that communities and other social contexts impact health outcomes, they are calling out a more intentional focus on determinants of health this year given the number of health and behavioral health systems prioritizing this work.
