501(c)(3) Nonprofits in Pulsar

A 501(c)(3) can't support or oppose candidates. Pulsar sets up 501(c)(3) campaigns to stay nonpartisan.

Two 501(c)(3) programs

• Nonpartisan civic engagement - voter registration, education, and get-out-the-vote that doesn't favor a candidate or party. Election dates and turnout goals stay on.

• Issue education and lobbying - public education and legislative work on your issue. Goals and AI plans center on the issue and your targets, not an election.

A standalone voter registration program is also available when registration is your main work.

Nonpartisan voter data

For a 501(c)(3) campaign, Pulsar hides partisan voter fields and filters, such as party, partisan lean, and ideology, from voter search and lists.

Verification

Verify with your EIN. Pulsar checks it against IRS tax-exempt records. See Verifying Your Organization's Identity.

Candidate work belongs elsewhere

If your organization also has a 501(c)(4) or a PAC, run candidate-related work as a campaign under that entity.
