Regarding BC lobbying rules around coalitions, what if we make a grant to a coalition? Is that considered lobbying that we need to report?

It is important to remember that the one who is doing the lobbying is the one required to report it. The purpose of the grant may be relevant as well.

The consultant lobbyist or the designated filer for an organization must identify any coalition to which the client or organization belongs if the purpose of the coalition is related to the lobbying activities engaged in by the client or organization.
