"Clarity" (as it pertains to non-profits)
NO POLITICS AT ALL...EVER (as tax-exempt)
No endorsements EVER and NO ads against others or policies you don't like. (as tax-exempt)
If you MUST do these things, identify your donors and be aware that there is NO TAX EXEMPTION for you or for them.
They can still donate and you can still slime away..but not as a tax-exempt entity.
Be as political as you like, but pay TAXES on what you collect, and account for what you spend & how.
No matter the party.
These are BUSINESSES..they provide ZERO "social welfare".
This goes for churches as well (AFAIAC)
Preach away, sing & worship, but do NOT POLITICIZE.
If the congregants want to organize outside the church, let them,, but keep it OUT of church... OR PAY TAXES...
