Although most corporations are now allowed to use their funds to expressly advocate for or against candidates, 501(c)(3) organizations s are still subject to an absolute ban on intervening in elections. The penalties for such intervention include revocation of tax-exempt status, and the IRS has already announced they will be casting a watchful eye on 501(c)(3)s during this election year.
