Lobbying, Advocacy, and Tax Status: Dos and Definite Don’ts

Please join us on Tuesday, October 28th, for a lobby training overview for board and staff of education and community based organizations, non-governmental agencies, and other nonprofits. We will discuss topics including:

  • What are the lobbying differences between private foundations and other nonprofits?
  • How much can a 501(c)(3) spend each fiscal year on lobbying?
  • What is the difference between direct lobbying and grassroots lobbying?
  • What election-related activities may a 501(c)(3) organization engage in?
  • What state laws apply to nonprofits working on ballot measures and state-level lobbying?
