Event
Using Advocacy to Support Mission: What Your Foundation Can and Can’t Do, Can and Can’t Fund
Host Organization: Philanthropy New York
About
True or false:
- It’s permissible for your foundation to make grants that are used for public policy or legal advocacy
- A 501 (h) election allows your foundation to take a stance on a piece of legislation
- Administrative lobbying is subject to all the same rules as legislative lobbying
- Private foundations may fund 501(c)(4) organizations
The answers to these and many other questions may surprise you. And, if they do, you may be missing out on a strategy that can advance your foundation's goals. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what you need to know about the ins-and-outs — and what's licit and what's not — about using or funding advocacy to further your foundation’s work.
