Nonprofits

What Can Nonprofits Legally Do
Nonprofits CAN lobby! However, a 501(c)(3) may not engage in “substantial lobbying”. Visit What You Can Legally Do to learn what that means for you in your unique situation.

For more information, visit Guidelines for Advocacy, an online resource from the National Council of State Directors of Adult Education (NCSDAE) that provides information for public employees and nonprofits on what they can and cannot do.
