SUMMARY:Public Webinar: How Your 501(c)(3) Can Influence Policy for the Greater Good
DESCRIPTION:When our laws and policies work for us\, our communities win. Nonprofits have a close-up view of community needs and can and should take advantage of their right to influence law and policy. After this workshop\, you will have a clear understanding of what advocacy activities your 501(c)(3) can engage in\, what communications count as lobbying\, and how to maximize your non-lobbying advocacy.   \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow federal tax law permits lobbying for charities and how lobbying is defined;  \nOne easy step most charities can take to maximize the amount they’re allowed to spend on lobbying;  \nYearly lobbying limits for charities;  \nTips for taking advantage of the narrow definitions of lobbying – which will help charities make the most of their lobbying limit; and  \nHow to apply these rules to ballot measure activities.

SUMMARY:Public Webinar: Rules That Apply to Your Social Media and Other Online Activities
