Advocacy

Advocacy addresses all communications and actions intended to build awareness, understanding and support for the mission of a nonprofit organization or the nonprofit sector itself. Advocacy activities include lobbying public officials, education and information directed to a specific audience or general public, and community networking.

Also view our Public Policy section, including state and federal policy updates and resources.
