To do politics or not do politics? Tech startups are divided

I agree 100% politics should be a part of any company. I’d like to see time set aside to educate employees about their 2nd amendment rights and maybe the company can do a dollar for dollar match on NRA donations?

Oh wait, you meant you want to see your politics supported in the workplace. Not politics in general.

Google, which is not known as a bastion of right-wing thought, will indeed match dollar-for-dollar donations to the NRA. Up to a threshold, just like it does for any other charity.

NRA isn't a charity. Do they do it for political organizations, or just charities?

Are you sure? It was my understanding that Google only matches donations to 501(c)(3) organizations.

The NRA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises and donates money to outdoors groups and others such as ROTC programs, 4-H and Boy Scouts.

The NRA Foundation is a separate organization from the NRA. Obviously a related one, but the distinction is important because 501(c)(3) organizations can’t do political campaigning.
