Mission Voice & Election Decisions is a practical governance toolkit for 501(c)(3) public charities navigating advocacy, civic engagement, lobbying, and election-period decisions. It helps nonprofit leaders move from uncertainty about what is permitted to a structured, legally informed decision about what their organization should do, who has authority to decide, and what needs to happen next.
Use it when your organization is considering a public statement, lobbying activity, voter engagement effort, candidate event, ballot-measure campaign, or other election-related activity and needs more than a list of rules. The toolkit includes plain-language legal guidance, a step-by-step Decision Navigator, implementation tools, decision documentation, organizational-readiness resources, and a companion guide for boards.
