The attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was an unprecedented event that led many companies and associations to re-examine their political contribution strategies and actions. While some business PACs ceased contributions to the 147 lawmakers who refused to certify the 2020 election results, many more have paused all contributions while they assess their giving criteria and the behavior of past recipients.
In order to help organizations in their review processes, the Public Affairs Council has developed recommendations and a sample framework that can be used to manage corporate political involvement decision-making now and in the future.
This framework, based on first-hand experiences and smart practices shared with us in conversations with dozens of Council members, will get you started in crafting your own, individualized strategy.
