Non-Profit Lobbying: Just What Are the Rules Anyway?
One of most common barriers keeping non-profits from lobbying elected officials is the belief that it is illegal for 501(c)3 organizations to engage in this kind of activity.
Guess what - not true!
Not only can 501(c)3 organizations engage in certain types of lobbying, its a right that is protected by law.
This presentation provides a general overview of everything non-profit leaders need to know about their right to engage their elected officials. Find out the difference between advocacy, direct and grassroots lobbying, and what your organization can do to advance policies important to you and your constituents.
Check out this great resource!
NOTE: This presentation should not be construed as legal advice (we are NOT lawyers). This is a general resource to help non-profits begin to learn their rights. More in-depth information available from great organizations such as Alliance for Justice.
