Political Activity
Federal tax law prohibits The California Endowment, a private
foundation, from conducting or supporting, with limited exceptions, any
lobbying activity (supporting or opposing specific legislation,
including proposed or pending legislation or ballot measures) or
electioneering (supporting or opposing any candidate for public
office). These restrictions apply to events sponsored by The California
Endowment at our Center for Healthy Communities as well as the content
found within The California Endowment Web site; including discussions,
blogs, comments and any other fields or pages. Therefore, The
California Endowment prohibits participants from lobbying in favor of
or against specific legislation or expressing support for or opposition
against any candidate for elected office at such events and on our Web
properties.
