Nonprofits Need to Watch Their Step During Political Season

As we move into the next phase of this exciting election year, it is important that nonprofits review what they can and cannot do in the areas of political advocacy and lobbying.

The IRS recently held a phone conference on this topic and has made available, online, the script of that conference and the powerpoint slides that go with it. These are very well done, outlining the restrictions for several types of nonprofit organizations. We recommend you print them out and post them at your organization.
