Nonprofit organizations, and the people who run them, are trusted community and civic leaders. Often, nonprofits will opt out from advocacy and lobbying out of an assumption that they cannot legally participate in these activities.
501(c)(3) nonprofits are allowed to advocate and lobby on issues and legislation that impact their organizations and the communities they serve, but there are clear guidelines around which activities are permissible and what’s not allowed by the IRS. This webinar is designed for nonprofit leaders to better understand what they can and can’t legally do when it comes to lobbying and advocacy, so that they can take on greater leadership roles within the sector.
This webinar is the third in a series of trainings that MASSCreative is hosting in early 2026 to prepare you to make the most of Creative Sector Advocacy Week (March 2nd to March 6th, 2026).
