Lobbying is one of the most effective means for nonprofits to advance their missions. There are many ways 501(c)(3) public charities choose to lobby to achieve their policy goals. In this webinar we will delve into the definition and significance of lobbying. Once you understand how basic lobbying definitions apply to 501(c)(3) organizations, we will explain how to track your lobbying time and expenses, how to report lobbying to the IRS, and how lobbying restrictions of 501(c)(3) organizations interact with state or local lobbying disclosure laws.
