Lobbying and Political Activities in an Election Year for Tax Exempt Organizations

Event Description

If you are attending remotely, deadline to register is Wednesday, June 8, 2016.   

In person attendance can register in advance or at the door.  Don't forget your bag lunch!

Election years pose particular issues for tax exempt organizations.  Depending on the particular tax exempt status of an organization, the rules governing lobbying and political activities can vary.  Getting involved in legislative and electoral activities can be a great way for an organization to promote the interests of its constituency, but it is important to understand the particular limitations and reporting requirements that apply to different types of entities.

Emily Robertson will provide an overview of the tax law rules governing most common types of 501(c) organizations in their lobbying and political activities, including a discussion of the implications of common election year activities.

This is a presentation of the Business Law Section’s Nonprofit Corporations Committee brown bag lunch series.  We will meet at the MSBA offices at Noon.  Bring your own lunch.  Water and soft drinks will be provided.
