Legalizing Political financing and Political Parties--Whereforth Belize?
In Belize, Political parties are necessary organizations to source leaders for the ballot paper. However, to date, there are no laws to govern political parties that are tasked with such important pursuits as leadership of governance in a country of people. Political parties are not perceived as NGOs or businesses or partnerships, but they exist. Election financing to maintain a political party between elections, to contest elections and successfully bring a political party into power has become extremely exorbitant. However, a political party cannot finance itself through membership subscriptions, so where does the financing come from?

Nonprofit Advocacy: Lobbying and Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s4Good.org
Many nonprofits often desire certain legislative and public policy changes by our legislators and publicly elected officials to help further or achieve their charitable missions. Nonprofits, however, often avoid advocating for such changes because the IRS rules regarding nonprofit advocacy tend to be complex and commonly misunderstood. 501(c)(3) organizations in particular are often unsure or unaware of which advocacy activities are permissible and which advocacy activities may jeopardize their tax-exempt status. Additionally, nonprofit advocacy and compliance with IRS regulations is a common hot topic for other groups such as the media, public, and authorities, especially during election years. Given the increased attention and scrutiny to nonprofit lobbying and election-related activities that is to be expected this year, 501(c)(3) organizations would greatly benefit from becoming knowledgeable about nonprofit advocacy rules.
The Stand for Your Mission campaign is a challenge to all nonprofit decision-makers to stand up for the organizations they believe in by actively representing their organization’s mission and values, and creating public will for positive social change.

Editor's Notes
Prompt:
Share your thoughts on the current state of affairs.
With public sentiment that’s broadly supportive of arts and culture, and public officials that seem receptive to development of art and culture public policy, the environment is quite ripe for advancement of an arts and cultural agenda that ties to a broader civic agenda.
So, I’d like to take some time to dig into the concept of advocacy strategies and tactics, and we’ll explore them through the following themes:
What can nonprofits do?
Building Internal Advocacy Structures
Building Relationships with Policymakers
Ongoing Communications
Federal laws encourage charities to lobby within certain specified limits.
Knowing what constitutes lobbying under the law and what the legal limits are is the key to being able to lobby legally and safely.
Carrying on propaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation may not constitute a “substantial part” of the activities of an organization exempt under Section 501(c)(3); exceeding the “substantial part” limit places an organization at risk of losing its exempt status.
