New book review: The Law of Fundraising, 2008 Cumulative Supplement, 3rd Edition
Completely updated and expanded, this Third Edition of The Law of Fundraisingis the ONLY book to tackle the increasingly complex maze of federal and state fundraising regulations. Written by one of the country’s few legal experts on fundraising laws pertaining to tax-exempt organizations, this comprehensive reference details federal and state laws with an emphasis on administrative, tax, and constitutional law. Exploring compliance issues, prospective laws, and regulatory trends, this authoritative resource also provides you with summaries of each state’s Charitable Contribution Solicitation Act, the most important regulation impacting fundraising practice and professionals within each state.
This essential guide, says Moishe Alexander, is filled with a wealth of tables of cases, IRS rulings and pronouncements, an IRS checklist for monitoring charitable fundraising, and sample IRS forms. In addition, The Law of Fundraising is supplemented annually to keep you on top of all of the latest nonprofit and fundraising legal developments.
The 2008 Cumulative Supplement contains updates on the following subjects:
- Law aspects of charitable fundraising by means of the Internet
- Intermediate sanctions rules
- Corporate sponsorship rules
- IRS Implementing Guidelines for government fiscal years 2002 to 2007
- Revised and considerably revamped application for recognition of exemption filed by nonprofit entities that wish to be tax-exempt charitable organizations (Form 1023)
- Litigation relating to the national do-not-call registry rules
- Three sets of new rules relating to charitable fundraising issued by the U.S. Postal Service
Bruce R. Hopkins is the country’s leading authority on tax-exempt organizations and is a senior partner with the firm Polsinelli Shalton Flanigan Suelthaus PC. He is the author of twenty books and the magazine Bruce R. Hopkins’ Nonprofit Counsel.
The book is very helpful, says Moishe Alexander.

SickKids Foundation is the largest non-governmental granting agency in child health in Canada. Established in 1972, SickKids Foundation has granted over $500 million to The Hospital for Sick Children and over $60 million to researchers across the country.
Through its National Grants Program, SickKids Foundation invests $4 million annually across Canada in paediatric research, focusing on issues important to children’s health which have not been addressed elsewhere.

We have invested our community’s contributions in world-leading children’s health research and care. We believe there is no one else in Canada as dedicated as we are to eliminating the gap between what is happening in child health research, education and training, and what should be happening.
Moishe Alexander Donates to Ontario SPCA
Moishe Alexander donated $950.00 CDN to the Ontario SPCA (http://www.ontariospca.ca) in 2008.
About the OSPCA:
Through its province-wide network of 50 plus Communities, the Ontario SPCA (Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is one of the largest, most responsive animal welfare organizations in the country, providing care and shelter for tens of thousands of animals every year.
As a non-profit charitable organization, the Ontario SPCA is unique amongst animal welfare organizations in Ontario: the Ontario SPCA Act mandates the Society to enforce animal cruelty laws and provides Ontario SPCA Community investigators with police powers to do so.
For over a century the Ontario SPCA has provided province-wide leadership on matters relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of animal welfare, and worked with its Communities to encourage humane and suitable animal care; call attention to unacceptable practices that harm animals; investigate cruelty complaints; carry out rescues; bring perpetrators of cruelty to court; advocate for humane laws; and provide care to all animals in need.
