2 Non-profit Organization Lobbying Lobbying is attempting to influence legislation, proposed law. It is also an attempt to influence a lawmaker or public officer on an issue of interest. There are two ways in which an organization can lobby, direct and grassroots lobbying. Direct lobbying involves communicating directly with law-makers. Grassroots lobbying is the process of talking to the general public about an issue and mobilizing them to take action. Actions such as self-defense lobbying, research, testifying, among others do not constitute lobbying. Lobbying does not include endorsing candidates. It is legal for any non-profit organization to lobby. The IRS identifies two forms of lobbying, insubstantial test and 5768. Insubstantial test is where non-profit organizations are allowed to spend an insignificant amount of resources lobbying, but the amount is not clearly stated. 5768 form can be filed by all non-profit organizations except religious groups and allows organizations to spend 20% of their operating costs. Lobbying can be financed through foundations (community and private), special events, and donations. Contributions of Lobbying Lobbying had been a key factor in ensuring that environmental issues are addressed. Lobbying effects have helped to create socially responsible regulations and laws. For example, protecting the rights of disabled persons and the vulnerable people in society through the development of laws that allow the implementation of programs that help to better lives. One downside of lobbying is that groups can use this process to push forward agendas that are self-serving and do not serve the general public. Because of the allowance of private foundations, private entities can use the system to provide funds for their preferred policymakers and public officers who will work in their favor.
