Community Benefit 101

CHA's Community Benefit 101 program will continue to be offered as a virtual event in 2022! A highlight for 2022 will be the debut of the newest edition of CHA's nationally-recognized resource, A Guide for Planning and Reporting Community Benefit which will include updates on identifying and addressing health disparities and forming more authentic, effective community partnerships.

Community Benefit 101 provides new community benefit professionals and others who want to learn about community benefit with the foundational knowledge and tools needed to meet today's challenges. Through video presentations, live chat and commentary provided by community benefit leaders, CHA will provide the basics of community benefit, access to practical tools and resources, as well as timely public policy updates.

The CB 101 virtual conference sessions will cover:

How community benefit demonstrates the organization's mission.
The latest news on tax exemption/community benefit issues.

New for 2022! Special Offer for Community Benefit Reporters
This year we added single day registration with special pricing for community benefit reporters who want to focus on what counts, accounting and how to tell the community benefit story. This session will include an extended discussion on what counts and is reported on the IRS 990 Schedule H and the IRS community benefit accounting guidelines, with plenty of time for questions. Whether you are new to reporting or need a refresher, you can register for just Day 2, October 26.

Who Should Attend

While it is designed for new community benefit professionals, the new virtual format now makes this meeting accessible to a wider audience, including:

Staff in mission, finance/tax, population health, strategic planning, diversity and inclusion, communications, government relations, and compliance who want to learn about the important relationship between their work and community benefit/community health.
Veteran community benefit staff who want a refresher course to update them on current practices, inspire future activities and connect with others in nonprofit health care doing this work.
