Political Activity and Public Charities

This article from BoardSource helps 501(c)(3) nonprofits to understand the difference between lobbying and political activity. Public charities are allowed to lobby but they can lose their tax-exempt status if they engage in political campaigns and electioneering. It highlights the IRS guidelines about what public charities can and can’t do.
