Overview: Most nonprofit managers are aware that a charity may not directly campaign for, or against, a candidate for public office. The penalty is severe - loss of tax-exempt status. However, there is often confusion about related activity, and whether it is improper - or permissible - under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. Nonprofits are, however, permitted to voice opinions on issues and inform the public about the positions of candidates on policy questions as long as it is done in an impartial manner.
