Annual Convening
Using Charitable Dollars to Support 501(c)(4) Work
Organization Members Only
Funding 501(c)(4) organizations is a strong way to create social change and achieve policy goals, as these organizations can use their funding for a broader range of activities than that of a 501(c)(3). However, due to increased restrictions of what can and cannot be funded with charitable dollars compared to a 501(c)(3), many public charities do not take full advantage of the power of 501(c)(4) grantmaking. In this session, two representatives for the Tides Foundation describe how and why to fund a 501(c)(4) organization along with the rules and restrictions foundations must be aware of when doing so. Additionally, they provide case studies and examples to help illustrate what an actual grant to a 501(c)(4) can look like.
