>> Can tax-exempt organizations endorse candidates for public office?
>>
>> Whether a tax-exempt organization may endorse candidates for public
office without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status depends upon the type of tax-exempt >> organization it is. For example, 501(c)(3) organizations may not engage
in political activity, including endorsing candidates, but other organizations, such as >> 501(c)(4) organizations, may engage in political activity so long as that
is not their primary activity. However, 501(c) organizations that make expenditures for >> political activity may be subject to tax under 527(f). For more
information, download Election Year Issues. >
