Legal staff at the Moore Foundation recently joined the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to launch a new online course to help their grantees and other nonprofit organizations better understand the laws governing advocacy and lobbying.
The free course, “Advocacy & Lobbying: Rules for Public Charity Grantees of Private Foundations” is the latest in the Learn Foundation Law suite of trainings, and is designed for U.S. public charities and their equivalents who are seeking funding from a private foundation to support their advocacy work.
Key features of the redesigned site include greater usability on mobile devices, increased functionality and the central placement of the animated character Maya – a program officer who leads the Learn Foundation Law courses. Other features of the site include tips on how to use and promote the courses within an organization, a subscription option for updates on new courses and the ability to offer feedback.
The new course also introduces a new animated character, Alex, an executive director of an U.S. public charity. Topics that the course covers include:
- What is Advocacy?
- Lobbying under IRS Rules
- Funding Options
- Maximizing Limits
