Each day I learn something new. Today I was researching C3's and C4's.
501(c)(4) organizations can engage in unlimited lobbying so long as it pertains to the organization's mission. 501(c)(3) organizations are not permitted to engage in political activity, endorse or oppose political candidates, or donate money or time to political campaigns, but 501(c)(4) organizations can do all of the above.
Why is this interesting?
I worked for a C3 that hired a lobbyist to promote itself. Is this okay as long as they are not engaging in political activity and merely indulging in self promotion. The non profit was hoping to garner grant money from the state from the state and promote its case among the legislators.
