Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

The Internal Revenue Service will allow churches to endorse political candidates to their congregations without risk to their tax-exempt status, in a departure from decades of policy. The agency made the about-face in a court filing to settle a lawsuit brought by two churches in Texas and an association of Christian broadcasters that sought to allow all nonprofits to endorse candidates to their members. The prohibition on overt campaigning had been in place since the 1950s, although the IRS had lately enforced it with a very light hand. (New York Times)
