filial de lobby


Explanation:
For a non-profit organization in the US to carry out political advocacy or lobbying, it needs to be registered differently (usually as a 501 c4 instead of a 501 c3 organization). Therefore, they "spin-off" entities to be able to do more concerted advocacy and lobbying because a 501 c3 organization is limited in terms of how much advocacy/lobbying it can legally do.
