Public power utilities are community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that deliver reliable, low-cost electricity to about 2,000 communities serving more than 55 million Americans. Among the cities served by public power utilities are Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Los Angeles, California; Jacksonville, Florida; and Seattle, Washington. The Large Public Power Council (LPPC) is the voice of large public power in Washington, D.C. It advocates for policies that enable members to build critical energy infrastructure, power the growth of the economy, and provide affordable and reliable electricity to millions of Americans. The LPPC's members are 29 of the largest public power systems in the nation. Together, they serve 30.5 million consumers across 23 states and territories. Tom Falcone, president of the LPPC, noted that all power companies, whether publicly owned, cooperatives, or investor-owned utilities (IOUs), are in the same business, that is, to reliably deliver electricity to customers. The big difference is that public power companies are accountable at home. “We're publicly owned. We are not-for-profit. We are community oriented. We're mission oriented. And so, our real goal, and only goal in life, is reliable, affordable power—sustainable power—back home at the least cost to customers,” Falcone said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “So, we're not necessarily looking to grow loads or grow earnings, unless that's favorable to our community, unless we're meeting the needs of our community or lowering costs for them.” Public power companies face many of the same concerns as co-ops and IOUs. One of the biggest challenges today is rapid load growth, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and the increasing electrification of manufacturing and transportation. “The biggest thing is that the load is arriving faster and lumpier, and in a more concentrated fashion, than it has in the past,” explained Falcone. “Historically, when somebody new came to town, they wanted, you know, 5 MW, or maybe they were really large and they wanted 100 MW,” said Falcone. “But what we have today is folks who come to town and they want a GW, which is enough to power probably 600,000 homes, depending on what part of the country you're in.” Falcone said about half of LPPC's members are seeing this very, very rapid growth. “They could double over the next 10 years,” he said. While the demand for the energy is very immediate, utilities' ability to build infrastructure is not. “We have to go through the same permitting and public processes, and construction and supply chain, and it just doesn't allow us to build quite that fast,” Falcone reported.

With school back in session and fall in the air, it's the perfect time to get back to basics on the Rules of the Game podcast. On today's episode, we'll review how the advocacy rules differ across the various types of tax-exempt organizations, including 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and PACs. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or just starting out, understanding these fundamentals is crucial for crafting bold advocacy plans that maximize your capacity and comply with the appropriate rules. Join us for a quick refresher!   Attorneys for this Episode Melissa Marichal Zayas Natalie Ossenfort Susan Finkle Sourlis   Comparison of tax-exempt organizations There are many different types of tax-exempt organizations – our federal tax code offers 29 different types of tax exemptions to choose from! 501(c)(3)s 501(c)(3) organizations are tax-exempt, and donations to 501(c)(3)s are tax deductible. With this favorable treatment come some restrictions related to lobbying and election season advocacy. ·      Public Charities (including Community / Public Foundations) o   Prohibited from supporting or opposing candidates for public office o   Allowed to lobby so long as they stay within certain lobbying limits and use unrestricted dollars to pay for lobbying activities o   May also conduct nonpartisan election-related activities including voter outreach, voter education, voter registration, etc. ·      Private Foundations o   Prohibited from supporting or opposing candidates for public office o   Effectively barred from lobbying due to a steep excise tax that applies to private foundation lobbying expenditures o   Should also be aware of specific rules related to voter registration activities   501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, 501(c)(5) unions, and 501(c)(6) trade associations These organizations enjoy tax exempt status, but donations to them are not tax-deductible for the donor. However, they can engage in a wider array of advocacy activities than 501(c)(3)s. ·      They are allowed to lobby without tax code lobbying limits. ·      They can engage in some partisan political activity as a secondary purpose (for example, express advocacy). ·      When engaging in partisan activities, they need to be aware of campaign finance regulations and reporting thresholds. ·      At the federal level (and in most states), corporations - including tax-exempt organizations - are prohibited from making monetary or in-kind contributions to candidates or political parties.   527 – political organizations 527 political organizations include political parties; campaign committees for candidates running for federal, state, or local office; and federal or state political action committees (“PACs”). ·      The primary purpose of a 527 must be to engage in activities that influence the selection, nomination, election or appointment of an individual to a public office or an office in a political organization. ·      They do not generally engage in lobbying. Their lobbying expenditures may be subject to tax if the lobbying does not further political purposes. ·      There are many types of PACs, including traditional PACs and Super PACs.   How can these organizations work together?  Despite the different restrictions on lobbying and political activity, there are several ways to safely collaborate with organizations that have a different type of tax exemption.   501(c)(3) private foundations & 501(c)(3) public charities ·      Private foundations and public charities can engage in joint nonpartisan, non-lobbying activities, like public education campaigns. ·      Private foundations can also fund public charities, but they must ensure that they don't earmark any funds for lobbying.   501(c)(3) private foundations & 501(c)(4)s/501(c)(5)s/501(c)(6)s ·      Private foundations can also fund 501(c)(4)s, (c)(5)s, and (c)(6)s, but they must follow what are called the expenditure responsibility rules when granting to any non-(c)(3) organization.   501(c)(3) public charities & 501(c)(4)s/501(c)(5)s/501(c)(6)s ·      Public charities, including public and community foundations, can also collaborate with and fund (c)(4)s, (c)(5)s, and (c)(6)s. ·      Remember, your tax-exempt status follows your organization into any coalition work, so (c)(3)s must track any lobbying they engage in on behalf of or in support of the coalition and continue to stay within their lobbying limits. ·      All joint activities and campaigns must be nonpartisan, and any grants from a c3 to a c4 must prohibit the use of funds for partisan political activity. ·      The IRS will count the full grant from a c3 public charity to a c4 as a (c)(3) grassroots lobbying expenditure, unless the grant agreement explicitly prohibits the use of funds for lobbying or states what portions may be used for direct and for grassroots lobbying.   501(c)(4)s/501(c)(5)s/501(c)(6)s & 527 political organizations ·      501(c)(4)s, and all other corporations, should avoid making monetary or in-kind contributions to a political organization or candidate. These types of contributions are prohibited in federal elections, as well as in most state and local elections. ·      However, 501(c)(4) corporations may establish a traditional federal PAC via a Separate Segregated Fund. o   501(c)(4) corporations may not contribute to this federal PAC or any other political organization, but they can pay for a connected SSF's administrative costs. o   There are other special limitations for this type of PAC, including that it can only raise funds from the connected organization's bona fide members and its executive and administrative personnel and their families.   Resources ·      Alliance for Justice, The Connection: Strategies for Creating and Operating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations (See p. 11 for chart comparing tax-exempt organizations) ·      Alliance for Justice, Focus on Foundations ·      Alliance for Justice, An Introduction to PACs ·      Alliance for Justice, How to Fund a 501(c)(4)

All across the country, nonprofit hospital chains are literally upping their game.These corporate entities receive special tax exemptions because they provide some free and reduced-cost medical services to poor families. But, as one CEO put it, many chains are now going the extra yard to serve local folks “in new and exciting ways.”Great! Our whole health system desperately needs better quality, more-affordable care for all!Uh… no… that's not what they mean.Rather, the exciting new thing being pushed by non-profit hospitals is to spend big chunks of their tax-free revenue on their area's professional and college sports teams. For what? Get this: To buy the naming rights to the teams' stadiums and ballparks! A children's hospital in Fresno, California, for example, has put down $10 million to slap its name on Fresno State University's football stadium. And a Tennessee “safety-net” hospital has committed millions to emblazon its corporate name on the ballpark of Chattanooga's pro-baseball franchise.Sweet Jesus, what the hell? One university marketing professor even tried to rationalize these diabolical, high-dollar transactions by comparing them to community-spirited doctors buying jerseys for a town's Little League team! Excuse me, but this is a big-league perversion of the healthcare mission. Indeed, the Fresno State deal included special perks for the hospital's top honchos – including a skybox suite at FSU games, food & drink for them, seats on the team's charter plane, and a bundle of free tickets to home games.This is Jim Hightower saying… As the Republican mayor of Chattanooga gently noted: “At a time of severe nursing shortages and quality of care concerns, this decision is hard to explain.”Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

We sat down with Elizabeth Eurgubian, former NCUA Board Member, to explore the current state of the National Credit Union Administration and what it means for the financial services industry. The NCUA is structured to operate with a bipartisan, three-member board--with members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Since the election, the NCUA Board has been functioning with fewer than three members, raising important questions about oversight, governance, and decision-making. This episode will examine the practical and policy implications for the financial services industry when the NCUA Board is not fully staffed, and whether this could lead to an environment of more centralized regulators. We will also discuss the difference in regulatory conduct between Credit Unions and Banks and the recent hot topic of tax-exempt status for CUs.Send us a textPresented by Remedy ConsultingTechnology Contract Negotiation & System Assessments, T&C Improvements, and FI Strategic Planning.For more information on BankTalk:BankTalk WebsiteSubscribe to BankTalk NewsRemedy Consulting WebsiteRemedy LinkedInTo speak on the BankTalk Podcast, please email us.

Gary revisits a topic he discussed a few months back about churches and pastors making political endorsements. It has long been believed that churches cannot even mention politics or candidates due to the threat of losing their tax-exempt status. The IRS has finally come out with a statement making the matter very clear. What excuse will churches use now?

It's Wednesday, July 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists imprison three church leaders Communist officials in China sentenced three church leaders to prison last month for alleged fraud. Pastor Li Jie and Elder Han Xiaodong received sentences of three years and eight months. Elder Wang Qiang received a sentence of one year and 11 months. They're from Linfen Covenant Home Church in China's northern Shanxi Province. The case has involved years of surveillance, arrests, and court delays. A statement from the church denounced the unjust sentencing, saying their leaders are “suffering for righteousness' sake and are willing to take up the cross with the Lord.” In Matthew 16:24-25, Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Irish pro-lifers upset 50,000 babies killed since 2019 Thousands of people attended a pro-life rally in Dublin, Ireland on Saturday. People held signs and flags that said “Life Will Win” and “Stop Aborting Our Future.” Since 2019, over 50,000 unborn babies have been murdered in the womb in Ireland. Sandra Parda with The Life Institute said, “This is an issue the media wants to ignore, but how can we be blind to 50,000 lives ended in just over six years. It represents more than 100 schools or thousands of classes of children. It's part of Ireland's future growth and development and innovation ended before birth.” President Trump to visit flood-ravaged Texas In the United States, President Donald Trump announced he will visit Texas on Friday in the wake of catastrophic flooding there.  Flash floods hit central Texas last Friday, killing at least 108 people. Most of the deaths were in Kerr County where 30 children died. Many of them were from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls camp.  Local officials have reportedly been dodging questions about their emergency response preparedness. If you'd like to contribute to the on-the-ground help of Samaritan's Purse, make a donation through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer saved 165 lives at Camp Mystic During the tragic flooding, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer has emerged as a hero. Twenty-six-year-old Scott Ruskan and his crew were called in to help at Camp Mystic. He described his experience on ABC's Good Morning America. RUSKAN: “I got on scene, boots on the ground at Camp Mystic. Discovered I was the only person there as far as First Responders go. “So, yeah, I had about 200 kids. All scared, terrified, cold, having probably the worst day of their life. And I just kind of need to triage them, get them to a higher level of care.” Having only been a rescuer swimmer with the Coast Guard for six months, this was literally his first rescue mission. RUSKAN: “When I got on scene, there was 200 kids looking for someone for some sort of comfort and safety. They don't really know what my experience is or my rank or my age. They just know, hey, this guy's a professional and he's here to help us. And I kind of had to live up to that standard.” Remarkably, Ruskan is credited with saving 165 lives. However, he praised  the courage of the children he rescued, calling them the real heroes. RUSKAN: “The real heroes, I think, were the kids on the ground like those guys are heroic. And, you know, they were dealing with some of the worst times their lives, and they were staying strong, and that helped inspire me to kind of get in there and help them out.” Elon Musk talks about forming The American Party On Saturday, Elon Musk announced the formation of his new political party. He wrote on X, “When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, The America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.” The tech billionaire said he will focus on the U.S. House and Senate over the next 12 months. Musk says the America Party will support free speech, the Second Amendment, reduced debt, and reduced regulations.   Appearing on PBS News, Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report offered her analysis. WALTER: “Whether a third party goes anywhere and what he does with that, it feels like this is a person who's been upset by his experience within the current political system. So, he says, I'm going to take my ball, go home, and then make my own party. “The reality is he could have much more influence on politics if he took some of his millions and billions of dollars and actually focused it on a certain number of candidates or races of candidates who felt similarly to him on many of these issues. “Clearly, the fiscal issue in terms of the deficit is the one driving him in this case. But he has a lot of other policies that, if he funded a candidate on the Democratic or Republican side, would be really more efficient than starting another party.” IRS: Churches cannot lose tax-exempt status if they endorse candidates The Internal Revenue Service said in a court filing Monday that churches should not lose their tax-exempt status if they endorse political candidates from the pulpit. In the case, the IRS is joining churches and Christian groups in challenging the Johnson Amendment. The 1954 provision of the tax code prohibits 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations from engaging in political activities.  The IRS said, “Communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted.” Family is top value of Americans And finally, Gallup released a new poll on the most important values to Americans. U.S. adults were the most likely to rank family as their top value, followed by freedom, health, integrity, and faith. Family is the most important value for nearly all major subgroups in the survey. The most notable exception is for those who attend religious services weekly. While family is important to them, faith is even more important.  In Matthew 22:37-38, Jesus said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Harvard's Financial Crisis: Could Tax-Exempt Status Loss Mirror Solomon Brothers' Demise?  Harvard University's ongoing battle with the federal government over research grants, tax-exempt status, and what it means for higher […] The post Could Harvard's Tax-Exempt Status Loss Mirror Solomon Brothers' Demise? appeared first on Dupree Financial.

The State of Wisconsin exempts religious organizations from their unemployment tax system. Even though everyone agrees that Catholic Charities is controlled by a church, Wisconsin Supreme Court held that Catholic Charities is not “operated primarily for religious purposes”, and therefore does not qualify for the exemption. Catholic Charities appealed to the Supreme Court to ask if that decision violated the First Amendment.

President Donald Trump is escalating his ongoing battle with Harvard University. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Julian Fray, a professor at Northeastern University School of Law, joins WBUR's Morning Edition.

President Trump warned Harvard University that it could and should lose its tax-exempt status. “Perhaps Harvard should lose its tax exempt status and be taxed as a political entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘sickness,’” he wrote on social media. “Remember, tax exempt status is totally contingent on acting in the public interest.” Harvard announced yesterday they would defy President Trump’s order to crack down on anti-Semitic protests on campus. In doing so – the world’s wealthiest university risks losing all of its federal tax money. According to the New York Post, Harvard stands to lose as much as $9 billion. So far, the Trump administration has frozen $2 billion in funding. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/  Orthodox members of the Church today often feel anchorless as the Church has changed its message to them. Other members are encouraged because there are no authoritative checks from the pulpit on their social agendas. The Church used to directly address its day's cultural and social ills and influences. Today, it is silent on these issues, except one, religious freedom. Is the Church's tax-exempt status a muzzle? Or are we going in a different direction? Website - www.cwicmedia.com 

Two huge topics that defined the Harris/Walz platform were taxing rich people and the right to abortion. Gary points out how both of these are misrepresented to appeal to uninformed voters. Emotional appeals, even from Billy Graham's granddaughter, are used to divert people from the real truth of every matter.

One from the archives, almost exactly three years ago. The more things change, they more they don't. Political liberals are more than willing to use every means necessary to get their message out, even breaking tax laws. Conservatives and Christians seldom have this boldness. In fact, many Christians don't even see the reason to be involved. The Apostle Paul would not agree.
