Spacer-no linkADVOCACY AND LOBBYING
Time: 9:30
 
While legislative advocacy is an acceptable activity for 501(c)(3) organizations under the tax law, IRS penalties for excessive lobbying can be harsh. Pat Wyzbinski of the Nonprofit Management Fund talks with Linda Honold about the difference between advocacy and lobbying, and related rules and reporting requirements with which nonprofit organizations should be acquainted. Linda Honold is the Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund. She also chairs the Advisory Council for the Wisconsin Civic Engagement Project, as well as the Development and Strategic Planning Committees for USAction.
