Best Practices for 501 (c)(3) Organizations During Election Season

In this video, we’ll provide essential tips to help 501(c)(3) organizations comply with the law during the upcoming election season. As a condition of their tax-exempt status, these organizations are prohibited from participating in political campaigns. This includes contributing to campaigns, making statements about candidates, and biased distribution of voter guides.

We will discuss three subtle forms of potential campaign intervention: candidate appearances, individual activity by organization leaders, and issue advocacy. Learn how to navigate these situations to ensure compliance while continuing your organization’s mission effectively.
