Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Operating as a 501-c3 organization places some restrictions on your organization: 1. You have a limit of total expenditures that can be made each year to support lobbying. You can choose to .elect. or .not to elect. under the IRS code and this decision determines how much of your annual budget can be spent for lobbying. 2. If you have subordinate organizations, their lobbying expenditures are counted in your total. This means that you need to be careful in ensuring that all the entities (yours and your subordinates) don.t exceed your allowable limit. 3. 501-c3 organizations are PROHIBITED from endorsing political candidates or participating in a political campaign.
