Maurice Aguirre Philanthropist: LDA and Prohibitions on the Use of Federal Funds For Lobbying

Maurice Aguirre Dallas Strategic Consultant: The LDA does not itself regulate lobbying by federal grantees, or contractors, though other laws, as well as contractual prohibitions, may apply. Questions concerning lobbying activities of federal grantees or contractors should be directed to the appropriate agency or office administrating the contract or grant.

Note, however, that Section 18 of the LDA prohibits 501(c)(4) organizations who engage in lobbying activities from receiving federal funds through an award, grant or contract.
