Unrelated business income is income from a trade or business that is regularly carried on by an exempt organization and that is not substantially related to the performance by the organization of its exempt purpose or function, except that the organization uses the profits derived from this activity. Does your organization have a gift shop? Do you sell mugs with your logo or other tchotchkes? Do you rent your facility to other groups? It is important that you know where the line is between related and unrelated income—and at times it can be a fuzzy one! There'll be plenty of time in this study session to learn the basic concepts and grapple with examples, including your own. 

Executive directors, marketing staff, board officers and directors are all encouraged to participate.
