On the frontlines of participatory democracy, nonprofits are increasingly using ballot measures as a creative way to move policies and community funding forward. Having a thorough understanding of the laws that govern nonprofit participation in initiatives and referenda is an important strategy to effective advocacy.
Participants will learn:
- How a 501(c)(3) organization can support or oppose ballot measures;
- How ballot measure expenditures apply to a 501(c)(3)’s lobbying limits;
- How a 501(c)(3) organization can work in a coalition with a 501(c)(4) on an initiative;
- How state ballot measure laws may affect nonprofit involvement in ballot measure campaigns; and
- How ballot measure campaigns can be funded.
