SUMMARY:How to Keep Charitable Nonprofits and Houses of Worship Protected from Partisan Politics
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by the National Council of Nonprofits. \nAugust 26th\, 3:00 – 4:00 PM \nRegistration Fees: FREE \nREGISTRATION\nRegister today to join the National Council of Nonprofits for a national webinar on Tuesday\, August 26 at 3:00 pm Eastern to learn more about efforts to undermine federal protections for charitable nonprofits\, including houses of worship\, against partisan politics and the dark money that fuels it. \nWithout this protection\, politicians may try to pressure charitable nonprofits to endorse their election campaigns\, exert control over nonprofit organizations’ mission and the services they provide\, and funnel tax-exempt charitable donations to their election war chest. These efforts could radically alter campaign finance laws to benefit politicians at the expense of charities\, houses of worship\, and foundations\, severely damaging the integrity and effectiveness of the entire sector and our elections. \nSpeakers will discuss why it is critical for charitable nonprofits\, including religious organizations\, to remain nonpartisan and how nonprofits can take action to ensure these vital institutions remain a trusted space where people can come together across political\, religious\, and cultural divides to solve local problems. \nPlease note that each registration is unique and will allow only one login to the webinar. If you utilize an automated AI note-taking app\, you may run into issues if that AI note-taker logs in before you do.
