Permissible Nonpartisan 501(c)(3) And Partisan Campaign Contact On Voter Engagement/Protection Efforts

Alliance for Justice

Although 501(c)(3) organizations need to be careful not to violate the ban on intervention in political campaigns when communicating with parties and candidates, not all such communications are prohibited.  Alliance for Justice is pleased to present a fact sheet, Permissible Nonpartisan 501(c)(3) and Partisan Campaign Contact on Voter Engagement/Protection Efforts, that offers guidelines for 501(c)(3) organizations to interact with political campaigns and parties.  Specifically focused on voter protection issues, it highlights when it is permissible for 501(c)(3) voter-protection group to talk with political candidates or parties -- and when it is not.
