Denham Wolf Real Estate Service has named Kate Van Tassel as director of development services. She most recently worked at the New York City Economic Development Corporation and has a decade of project management experience in the real estate industry, according to an Aug. 20 press release. She will lead real estate development opportunities for city nonprofits in her new position at Denham Wolf.

“Her active engagement with local real estate development and the nonprofit sector will strengthen Denham Wolf’s reach and enhance our capacity for positive community impact,” said Jonathan Denham, co-president of Denham Wolf, in the press release.

 

SCO Family of Services has received a new $14.8 million contract renewal from the New York City Administration for Children’s Services.

A new study finds better outcomes for children who stayed with their families rather than entering foster care. The study comes from Finland, where researchers tracked about 60,000 children who were born in 1987. By ages 18-25 years old, the effect of care was evident, according to the study.

“Preschool children who are placed out-of-home are at risk of adverse outcomes as adults, even accounting for their initial circumstances. It is important to explore which conditions lead to more or less favourable outcomes in child protection,” reads a synopsis of the study.

The NCCPR Child Welfare Blog has its own take of the study and what it means for care providers in the U.S. Read it here.

 

The National Council of Nonprofits says the Internal Revenue Service is not listening. An Aug. 20 email from the organization says a new Priority Guidance issued by the department has signaled that the agency does not consider a 21-percent tax on nonprofit transportation benefits a high enough priority – a result of the tax law enacted in December.  

“Scores of organizations have submitted substantive comments to the government expressing confusion and raising questions about how the new taxes on nonprofit business operations and transportation benefits should be interpreted,” reads the email from the council. “Many more have submitted short statements to the IRS urging delay in implementation of the taxes until one year after the government promulgates Final Rules that provide needed clarity.”

The council wants like-minded organization to submit comments here, and include “Form 990-T” in the line”Form/Instruction/Publication Number.”
