What does it mean for a 501c3 to be non-partisan?

Legally, you just can’t endorse candidates or parties. As a 501(c)3, UNAVSA can take any position it wants on issues that it considers important.

Conceptually though, UNAVSA should only take stances on issues that reflects the opinion of the constituents. I don’t see UNAVSA as an advocacy organization, but rather a community organization where decisions are made collectively, and the community advocates if it chooses to do so.
