This free resource is designed for public charities who are seeking funding from a private foundation to support advocacy work. The training takes about twenty minutes to complete. The course features Maya, a program officer at a private foundation, and Alex, a program director at a U.S. public charity, who guide users in learning what constitutes lobbying under IRS rules. Participants can return to the training at any time for a refresher and click on the individual modules to refer back to specific topics.
