Upcoming Events

How can nonprofits protect their organizations and the communities they serve while staying focused on their missions? Join the Lawyers’ Committee for Rhode Island and attorneys from Covington & Burling LLP for a practical presentation on federal investigations and enforcement under the Trump administration. We will explain the tools the government can use, including congressional inquiries, Department of Justice investigations, False Claims Act enforcement, IRS audits, and federal grant oversight, and assess what these risks mean for Rhode Island nonprofits.

Designed for nonprofit leaders, board members, and staff, the presentation will cover steps organizations can take now to strengthen compliance, protect sensitive client information, and prepare to respond to subpoenas, audits, or other government demands. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of their rights, when to seek legal help, and options for challenging government overreach. Our goal is to help nonprofits make informed decisions, prepare with confidence, and continue their essential work without allowing fear and uncertainty to dictate their missions.
