Loot and Private Foundation Rules – Part 1

November 7, 2022 Podcast
EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. In this episode, my law partner Hons Yung and I bring you what we hope to be the first in an occasional series of reviews of popular media, feature films, episodic series, and other videos that feature charitable foundations, public charities, or charitable giving in fictional storytelling.

In this first installment, we look at the first season of the Apple TV+ series Loot starring Maya Rudolph. While we’ll still cover some technical tax topics, this time we do it in the context of a comedy, and we hope you enjoy it with us.

Stick around until the end when we cover some of our favorite aspects at the series.
