Great Lakes Film Association

Notice:

The Great Lakes Film Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c)(3), under which most nonprofits are registered, prohibits them from partisan political activities. It also limits nonprofits’ expenditures to influence legislation through lobbying to an “insubstantial” portion of an agency’s budget.

But legal experts say these don’t constitute a ban on free speech.

The Great Lakes Film Association is a non-profit organization that relies on contributions, memberships, and the hard work of its volunteers to help raise funds for our annual film festival.

The funds raised from the memberships are needed to help with yearly operating costs and to produce the annual Great Lakes Independent Film Festival, which is ranked among the top 100 most popular film fests in the world.
