Your Questions: Ask Us Anything

0

In this episode, we turn to your questions. We put out the ask for listeners to send in questions on nonprofit advocacy, and on this episode, we’re going to answer a handful of the questions we’ve received that stood out. We’ll ease you in and ramp up the levels of difficulties. Ever wonder what types of questions we get at Bolder Advocacy? Stick around and find out!

Show Notes

What is the difference between a nonprofit and a 501(c)(3)?

Where on my 990 do I look to see if I have selected the 501(h) election for measuring my lobbying?  And if I file today, is it effective next year, or this year?

Can a board member of a non-profit sign on to a partisan statement or call to action and list their affiliation with the non-profit if it is noted that affiliations are for “identification purposes only”?

Where on my 990 do I look to see if I have selected the 501(h) election for measuring my lobbying?  And if I file today, is it effective next year, or this year?

We have a 501(c)(3), and our board is considering forming an affiliated 501(c)(4). Can we use c3 dollars to hire initial c4 staff or to pay for start-up overhead?

Are there any issues with establishing a bail fund specifically to bail out protesters? 

Specifically, the IRS states that activities such as strikes, economic boycotts, picketing, and mass demonstrations are permissible methods of furthering the educational and charitable purpose of a 501(c)(3) organization, as long as three conditions are satisfied:

  1. the organization’s purpose is charitable;
  2. the organization’s activities are neither illegal, contrary to public policy, nor in conflict with express statutory restrictions or limitations; and
  3. the activities of the organization are in furtherance of its exempt purpose and reasonably related to the accomplishment of such purpose.

The Pedalshift Project 263: Guide to Cycling the C&O Towpath – Part 2

I’ve taken listeners on a bunch of rides on the C&O, but I’ve never really done the full guide to cycling it. In the second of two parts, we go section by section from DC to Cumberland. It’s an audio guide to cycling the C&O Canal towpath whether you’re a first timer of a full on expert.

Guide to Cycling the C&O Towpath – Part 2

A few things to add based on feedback:
 
  • I didn’t mention the parallel paved options available. Most notable is the Western MD Rail Trail which effectively goes from 11 miles downstream from Hancock to Little Orleans with a few on and off options (one forced) to the C&O. It’s a common alternate for folks through-riding.
  • One option that is less accessible for the moment is the Washington & Old Dominion Trail on the VA side of the river from Arlington to Purcellville. The upstream access is extremely limited since the closure of the cable ferry at White’s Ferry. I hear there are shuttles from hotels and other providers that are bringing cyclists back and forth, so a hotel stay might be an efficient way to do over 30 miles of paved trail in lieu of the C&O (but you miss a lot and the W&OD is far less scenic).

I was all set to get up the next morning and do another leg of the tour but ended up having that nagging injury return, so I’m postponing the rest of the tour for later next month and OF COURSE you’re invited.
