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: How 501(c)(3)s Can Educate and Advocate During Election Season 
DESCRIPTION:Though public charities must remain nonpartisan\, they have a critical role to play throughout the election cycle! Not only can public charities engage in issue advocacy during election season\, but they can also conduct robust voter and candidate education campaigns and mobilize the public to get out the vote. After this session\, you will have a better understanding of how to safely engage in nonpartisan advocacy during an election.   \nParticipants will learn: \n\nHow you can continue to advocate for your issues during election years;  \nHow you can educate the public through candidate forums and questionnaires;  \nHow you can respond to candidate statements objectively;  \nHow you can conduct nonpartisan voter registration and ensure get-out-the-vote efforts are conducted legally; \nHow you can safely support or oppose ballot measures without being partisan; and \nHow staff and volunteers’ partisan activities in their personal time can be kept separate from their activities on behalf of the organization.
