On September 19, 2023 members of the Greater Good Greenville community heard from advocacy experts, Bolder Advocacy, that although 501(c)3 public charities must remain nonpartisan, they have a critical role to play throughout the election cycle! Not only can public charities engage in issue advocacy during election season, but they can also conduct robust voter and candidate education campaigns and mobilize the public to get out the vote. Participants gained a better understanding of how to safely engage in nonpartisan advocacy during an election.
