This program is a two-part standalone offering from our PNY Core: Policy Core.
True or false:
- It’s permissible for your foundation to make grants that are used for public policy or legal advocacy
- A 501 (h) election allows your foundation to take a stance on a piece of legislation
- Administrative lobbying is subject to all the same rules as legislative lobbying
- Private foundations may fund 501(c)(4) organizations
The answers to these and many other questions may surprise you. And, if they do, you may be missing out on a strategy that can advance your foundation's goals. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what you need to know about the ins-and-outs — and what's licit and what's not — about using or funding advocacy to further your foundation’s work.
This program is broken out into two parts:
2:30-3:45 PM - What You Can and Cannot Do: Legal Boundaries and Opportunities
- Sean Delany, Executive Director, Lawyers Alliance for New York
Explore
- Relevant legal issues surrounding funding advocacy work
- Ways to fund advocacy and identify ways to take part in advocacy as a foundation
4:00-5:00 PM - Increasing Your Impact With 501(c)(4)s
- Lukas Haynes, Executive Director, The David Rockefeller Fund
