Most Recent Nonprofit Advocacy Matters

The National Council of Nonprofits has published its most recent edition of Nonprofit Advocacy Matters.  Coverage includes the following:

1. Descriptions of, and links to, recent studies on government-nonprofit contracting issues, one by the Urban Institute and another by the National Council of Nonprofits;
2. A brief critique of the Office of Personnel Management’s rule changes governing the Combined Federal Campaign, which will (it is argued) adversely affect federal workplace giving to nonprofits; and 
3. A summary of a new California law requiring politically active, non-charitable nonprofits to disclose the names of their donors in some circumstances. The law reportedly requires IRC section 501(c)(4) organizations and IRC section 501(c)(6) trade associations to make public their donors’ names if the donee entity spends or contributes over $50,000/year (or $100,000/four-year period)  in electioneering in the state.  The names of those donors giving $1,000 or more for political activity in California must be disclosed.  According to the piece, the new law also requires committees raising at least $1 million on ballot measures to disclose the 10 most generous donors who donated at least $10,000.
