As the environment for policymaking on climate change has evolved, it has become increasingly apparent that there is an opportunity not only for educating policymakers about climate policies generally, but also for lobbying, i.e., directly advocating for specific legislation. Private foundations such as Linden Trust may engage in policymaker education but may not engage in, or provide support for, lobbying. Consequently, in 2019, LTC Action Inc., was created as a separate, related entity that is organized under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code and is therefore allowed to support lobbying and some other activities that the tax code disallows to Linden Trust. Linden Trust and LTC Action have entered into an agreement under which LTC Action pays for a portion of the working time of Linden Trust employees so they can lobby on LTC Action’s behalf. LTC Action also supports third parties that engage in lobbying. LTC Action is funded solely from Larry Linden’s personal funds and receives no funding from Linden Trust. LTC Action pays directly for some of its activities and reimburses Linden Trust for others, such as the time of its employees and access to other Linden Trust resources.
