Ask Us Anything

On this episode of Rules of the Game, we dive into some of the most common – and pressing – questions we hear on our free nonprofit advocacy technical assistance hotline. From whether foundation funding can support voter registration efforts, to what nonprofits should know when attending rallies and advocating around local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, we break down the rules and offer practical guidance you can use to enhance your organization's advocacy and community participation in elections and other public policy activities. We'll discuss real world scenarios, and a few surprises drawn straight from questions advocate like you are asking every day.   Attorneys for this episode  Tim Mooney Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort Quyen Tu  Shownotes  Question 1: How can 501(c)(3) organizations participate in voter registration activities, and where can we find funding to support this work?  Voter registration is explicitly allowed (and encouraged): 501(c)(3) public charities can conduct voter registration drives if they are nonpartisan: no support for or opposition to any candidate or political party. This includes helping people register, providing forms, and sharing neutral information about how and where to vote.  <li class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX4 SCXW42467923" role="listitem"
