The UCLA School of Law Lowell Milken Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofits and Loyola Law School are pleased to announce that they will host the 28th Western Conference on Tax-Exempt Organizations on February 27 and February 28, 2025, at The California Endowment's Center for Healthy Communities in Downtown Los Angeles. Last year's two-day conference was sold out, with nearly 150 lawyers, accountants and in-house professionals representing a broad range of nonprofit organizations. Government officials will give federal and state updates, and prominent nonprofit practitioners, academics, and other experts from the sector will speak on current topics in nonprofit tax, state law, accounting and other compliance matters. The tax press covers this event extensively, and material from the conference continues to be cited as authority in articles and books.
