Our Advocacy Work

As a West Virginia nonprofit, Blue Yonder Catholic Ministries engages in non‑partisan legislative advocacy that supports our mission to uphold human dignity and strengthen vulnerable communities. Our advocacy focuses on issues—not candidates—and follows IRS guidance that allows charitable organizations to speak on public policy and conduct limited lobbying (Rev. Rul. 2007‑41; IRC §4911). To remain well within the boundaries of the federal “substantial part” standard, we devote less than 5% of our overall time and activity to lobbying efforts, ensuring that our work remains mission‑driven, non‑partisan, and fully aligned with our charitable purpose.

"Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. - Proverbs 31:8-9
