Nonprofit Lobbying Laws Compliance

Programs that help nonprofit organizations that elect to come under the 1976 Lobby Law understand the nature and extent of the lobbying they are permitted to conduct without endangering their nonprofit status. Nonprofits can legally take a position on legislation or policy, engage in analysis and public education around a policy issue, meet and communicate with public officials in an attempt to influence their decisions, and participate in nonpartisan voter registration or get out the vote activities; but may not support or oppose a particular candidate for public office.
