Each year all Chapters are required to complete a Chapter Annual Renewal Package. This is frequently a combination of efforts between outgoing and incoming officers. The goal is to ensure all legal and financial obligations are met as well as ensure there is a smooth transition between officers. 

 

Read the IAFN Chapter End of Year Transition for a checklist of goals and more information on how to complete each step for a successful annual renewal. Outgoing and incoming officers should read. 

 

If you have any questions, contact Christina Presenti. She is available to walk you through each piece of this process.

IRS 990- Filing

Each chapter is required to file the E-990 postcard with the IRS every year.  This is a simple process that is done online and only takes a few minutes.  You will need your Chapter’s EIN # when filing. Please use the IAFN home office address for the location. Once it is complete, you will receive a confirmation email that needs to be forwarded to Christina Presenti.  Chapters are required to file prior to March 1st as part of their annual renewal with IAFN.
