Miller Center for Global Impact

Webinar on Navigating US Executive Actions

Summary:

Deliver a webinar on how social ventures and nonprofits can prepare for possible executive actions that may disrupt funding, international partnerships, and compliance for organizations working in climate, migration, or global justice.

Referred by:

Jurisdictions: U.S.
About the Organization: The Miller Center accelerates global, innovation-based entrepreneurship in service to humanity. Its strategic focus is on poverty eradication through its three areas of work: The Global Social Benefit Institute, Impact Capital, and Education and Action Research.
Legal Entity Type: Nonprofit/Charity
SDG(s):Affordable and Clean Energy, Clean Water and Sanitation, Decent Work and Economic Growth, End Poverty, Gender Equality, Good Health and Well Being, Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, Life on Land (sustainability of ecosystems), Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, Quality Education, Reduced Inequalities, Zero Hunger
Legal Issue(s):

We are seeking a volunteer to lead a webinar for social impact leaders on the potential legal and financial risks posed by anticipated U.S. executive actions. While none of the proposed measures are law yet, developments in U.S. policy circles indicate serious discussions around: (1) revoking tax-exempt status from organizations supporting or funding specified work; (2) banning cross-border donations; (3) labeling migrant aid groups as terror-affiliated; and (4) increasing IRS scrutiny on progressive or foreign-aligned donors. The webinar should help mission-driven organizations understand the legal implications and offer proactive steps to mitigate potential threats.

ThriveLink

Review Incorporation Documents/File 83(b) Elections/Draft Stock Purchase Agreement

Summary:

Assist a social impact organization that supports patients and helps them enroll in government programs by reviewing their incorporation documents, filing 83(b) elections, and drafting a template Stock Purchase Agreement. If an attorney cannot help with all projects, assistance with any would be greatly appreciated.

Referred by:

Jurisdictions: U.S. (DE entity)
About the Organization: ThriveLink builds telephonic AI agents that speak to patients, enrolls them in government programs, deploys resources covered by their health insurance, and enables seamless communication with their healthcare providers. In their first 13 months, the organization has supported more than 2,500 families!
Legal Entity Type: For-profit
SDG(s):End Poverty, Good Health and Well Being, Zero Hunger
Legal Issue(s):

The ThriveLink team initially did not intend for their organization to be a startup. They incorporated as a DE C Corp in 2022, simply to secure grants and obtain insurance. They did not issue any shares/sell stock at the time. As the organization has grown/evolved, this is now changing.

The ThriveLink team is seeking assistance reviewing/updating their incorporation/foundational documents to ensure they comply with applicable law, adequately meet the organization’s needs, and reflect their current/intended practices.

They are also seeking assistance filing their 83b elections and drafting a template Stock Purchase Agreement.

If an attorney cannot assist with both projects, support on either would be greatly appreciated!
