Webinar: Political Law 101 Bootcamp, Part 2: Political Contributions and Supporting Candidates

Election years are key times for corporations, associations and nonprofit organizations to engage with candidates and officeholders who can impact important policy decisions. Supporting candidates through direct campaign contributions or indirectly through SuperPACs or other independent advocacy efforts can help your organization secure “a seat at the table.” However, there are many federal, state and local campaign finance laws that determine who can contribute and how much.   

Key Topics Covered Include: 
• Which individuals and organizations can contribute to federal, state and local candidates, political parties and PACs?  
• What are the relevant contribution limits?
• How can an organization’s tax status impact its ability to support candidates?
• Are public contractors subject to special contribution limitations? 
• Are there limitations if foreign nationals are involved?
• Should an organization set up its own PAC?   
• What are the risks of non-compliance with these rules?
