  3.  Webinar: Federal COVID-19 Legislation: What do they mean for nonprofits To Register<https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=185>

Last week, more than 16,000 people registered for our webinar on the COVID-19 relief legislation that addressed which programs might be available for nonprofits to find funding to continue serving their communities. Now, with numerous requests from many of you and others, including some Members of Congress who wanted a webinar for their nonprofit constituents, we're excited to announce another webinar to go over the options for your nonprofit. On Tuesday, April 7 at 3:00 pm Eastern, the networks of the National Council of Nonprofits will host an updated presentation - for free - to help all in the charitable community understand the various provisions of the two new federal relief laws and what they mean for nonprofits. The webinar, Federal COVID-19 Legislation: What do they mean for nonprofits?, will present the latest news, government guidance and interpretations, plus answer questions from nonprofit participants.

What does this mean for Oregon nonprofits? Scott will address this, as well as answer your questions.
