On this edition, we answer some of those “greatest hits” questions we always talk about in the intro every week. And since we have primaries and spring elections coming up, we decided to do an all-elections episode to get you ready for your election season advocacy.   Lawyers for this Episode Sarah Efthymiou Susan Finkle Sourlis Tim Mooney   Shownotes  “Can our 501(c)(3) invite a candidate to speak at our fundraising event?” “In Oregon, we have 5 of our 7 Supreme Court seats up for election this spring, but since the candidates are nonpartisan I was wondering if our (c)(3) can endorse? Are they like ballot measures?” “We know that 501c3s cannot encourage or engage in activity that would support or oppose a candidate for elected office. But what if the c3 asked voters to vote uncommitted? Is that the same thing?”   Resources The Rules of the Game: A Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s Running the Advocacy Race: Bolder Advocacy’s Top Resources for an Impactful 2024 Election Season Hosting Candidates at Charitable Events Election Checklist for 501(c)(3) public charities
