Nonprofit hospitals impact the health and well-being of their communities in many ways. Community benefit is a well-defined set of activities, with specific categories that have detailed definitions and specific accounting guidelines that are well described by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and CHA.
The purpose of this webinar is to review guidelines from IRS Form 990, Schedule H Instructions and CHA's A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit, including:
- Criteria for what counts (and what doesn't count) as community benefit,
- Categories of community benefit, and
- Principles for measuring, reporting, and accounting for community benefit.
The presenters will address recent questions submitted to the CHA's What Counts Hotline. Time will also be provided for a question-and-answer session with participants.
Who should attend:
- Hospital and health care staff in community benefit, mission, community health, communications, finance/tax, compliance, legal, leadership
- Advocates, researchers, and policymakers focused on not-for-profit hospital community benefit and finance/tax.
Resources:
- A Guide to Planning and Reporting Community Benefit
