One percent of their budget over $17 million could also be spent. The Simpson amendment would also prohibit large (so-called 501(c)(4) nonprofits) nonprofit lobbying organizations from receiving federal grants and would require all federal grant recipients other than individuals who receive more than $25,000 to report their lobbying costs. The Campbell amendment would strike all language in the bill that prohibits federal grants to some organizations that lobby the federal government.
