Key Points
- Membership and board rules are now set by the foundation’s own bylaws instead of federal law.
- Money, property, and staff time cannot be used for politics or to push laws.
- No stock, no dividends, and no loans to leaders; only reasonable pay and expense reimbursement is allowed.
- Members and private individuals are not on the hook for the group’s debts or obligations.
- The group cannot claim government approval; if it shuts down, leftover assets must be used as its bylaws allow.
