Elections have a tendency to permeate everything, from television coverage to social media and even conversations in the workplace. For not-for-profits, keeping politics out of the work environment is essential.
501(c)(3) organizations are, by the definition of their tax-exemption, absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.

If organizations cross the line with engaging in politics, there could be serious penalties or loss of tax-exempt status.
