36 U.S.C. § 153507 — Restrictions

(a) Stock and Dividends. The corporation may not issue stock. It may not declare or pay a dividend. (b) Political Activities. The corporation, and its trustees and officers acting in that role, may not give money to, support, or help a political party or a candidate for elected office. (c) Distribution of Income or Assets. The corporation's income or property may not benefit, or be given to, a trustee, officer, or member — whether the corporation is still running or is dissolving or finally winding up. There is one exception: the corporation may still pay an officer reasonable compensation, or repay actual, necessary expenses, in amounts the board of trustees approves. (d) Loans. The corporation may not lend money to a trustee, officer, or employee. Trustees who vote for or agree to such a loan are personally responsible — together and individually — for repaying it, until it is repaid. Officers who help make the loan happen share that same responsibility.
