Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

22. Trading considerations - Need to consider
which classification your income generation
falls under
23. Trading by charities
Charities can benefit from tax exemptions on
profits from:
• Primary purpose trading
• Ancillary trading
• Some non primary purpose trading (small scale
exemptions)
• Certain charity fundraising events and lotteries
Sales of donated goods are not considered as trading
24. Primary purpose trading
Trading contributing directly to one or more of a charity’s
purposes:
• provision of educational services by a charitable school
in return for fees
• sale of goods manufactured by disabled people who are
also the beneficiaries
• provisional of residential accommodation by a residential
care charity in return for payment
25. Ancillary trading
Trading which contributes indirectly to the furtherance of
the purposes of a charity
• Will be treated as part of primary purpose trading
• Trading is not regarded as ancillary to the carrying out of
a primary purpose simply because its purpose is to raise
funds for the charity
26. Examples of ancillary trading
• The sale of food and drink in a restaurant by a theatre
charity to members of the audience
• The sale in a charity shop of bought-in goods that are
related to the primary purposes of the charity eg
literature providing advice and support for people with
cancer
• The sale of confectionery, toiletries and flowers to
patients and their visitors in a hospice
• The sale from a hospice café to patients and their
visitors
27. What ancillary trading does not extend to:
• sales from a charity shop of bought-in goods that are
unrelated to the charity’s objects eg sales of greeting
cards and jewellery
• the sale of confectionery, toiletries and flowers to the
general public
• sales from a hospice café to members of the general
public
• The level of annual turnover which is said to be ancillary
may have a bearing on whether or not the trade is really
ancillary
28. Non-Primary Purpose Trading
• Trading carried on with the sole aim of raising funds for a
charity
• Charities may engage in limited non-primary purpose
trading ONLY if there is no significant risk involved to the
charity’s assets
• No general exemption from corporation tax on the profits
of non-primary purpose trading however may fall under
the small scale exemption
29. The Small Scale Exemption
• Exemption from corporation/income tax primarily on the
profits from small-scale non-primary purpose trading eg
small scale selling of christmas cards or similar activities
• Applies only where all the relevant profits or income are
applied for the charity’s purposes
30. The small-exemption – depends on the size of
your total gross annual income
Total of all incoming resources in a
particular chargeable period of the
charity
Max permitted annual turnover of
the relevant trading in that
chargeable period
Under £20,000 £5,000
£20,000 to £200,000 25% of charity's total incoming
resources
Over £200,000 £50,000
31. Fundraising events – non taxable income
• ball, dinner dance, disco, barn dance, dinner, lunch or barbecue
• performance - concert, stage production and any other event which
has a paying audience
• showing of a film; game of skill, contest or a quiz
• fete, fair or festival, fireworks display; horticultural show
• exhibition: art, history or science
• bazaar, jumble sale, car boot sale, or good-as-new sale
• sporting participation (including spectators): sponsored walk or swim
• sporting performance
• participation in an endurance event
• an auction of bought in goods - an auction of donated goods is zero
rated
32. Exercise
• What are your current and/or proposed income
generating activities?
• Do they fit within your Objects?
• Will the activities push you over the permitted
HMRC threshold?
33. When to use a trading subsidiary
• To carry out activities outside objects and
powers
• Must be used for non-primary purpose trades
involving significant risk
• Want to make it a viable business without
restrictions placed on it by rules for charities?
• If the charity does not want to register for VAT
• To keep liability separate from main organisation
34. Trading subsidiaries
• Should have a business plan
• Profits do not qualify for charity tax exemption
• Transfer profits to the charity as a gift aid donation
• Same restrictions on paying charity trustees apply to
those charity trustees who are directors of its trading
subsidiary
• Trading subsidiary must pay a rent or fee for use of
charity’s resources
• Charity may give a loan on proper commercial terms
35. Check your governing document
• Do you have the power to raise funds
• Do you have the power to trade?
• Do you have the power to establish a trading
subsidiary?
• Do you have the power to enter into contracts?
36. Can a charity donate to another charity?
The fundraising activity should still have a link to
advancing its charitable purposes, for example:
• a community group that gets people together for
a coffee morning could give the proceeds to a
cancer charity
• A sports club holding a tournament could also
give the proceeds to another charity as it would
be advancing amateur sport.
