re: #81 The fascist squeaky wheels get the grease

This might sound very ignorant but if an organization is tax excempt can they donate money to political organizations?

From doing some research into ProEnglish, the 501(c)(3) that sponspored the conference at CPAC featuring VDARE’s Peter Brimelow, charitable organizations are allowed to use 20% of their revenue for outright lobbying. Its a sliding scale, the higher the revenues go, the lower the allowable % and it maxes out eventually. To go beyond that level, they have to get creative on the IRS Form 990.

Here is a useful link. You can search charitable organizations and obtain copies of their 990 Forms. Foundation Center Boy I hope that Heartland Institute doesn’t threaten to sue me for posting that link. ha.
