#PAChacks

This session requires RSVP, and access will only be available to badge types listed under “Primary Access.”

Political Action Committees (PACs) are often described as 'dark money' or representing nefarious 'special interests'. But setting up a PAC to work for social impact can advance a policy agenda and augment the work of existing charities, non-profits, and c3 orgs. Learn how two 501c4 "super PAC" organizations, EveryLibrary and the LGBT Technology Partnership, evaluated their policy and advocacy landscapes to challenge existing models of issue-advocacy and re-imagine the policy agenda. Both organizations’ founders will share practical insights on the financial and regulatory aspects of leading a c4 start-up creating new organizations in an established ecosystem.
