e)Practical Implications for Charities
•Know the rules before becoming involved
in political activities
•Ensure that activities are either
“charitable activities” or are
“permitted political activities”
•The decision to become involved in
permitted political activities should be
authorized by the board of directors of
the charity
•Ensure that any permitted political
activities undertaken fall within expenditure
limit (i.e., generally within the
10% resource limit)
