re: #260 Mich-again

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.

Very useful —thanks for posting.
