Policy Advocacy Tools
Policy advocacy is a critical and important activity for all nonprofits seeking to achieve lasting and meaningful change. Engaging in advocacy is an opportunity to share your priorities with the public, represent communities, advance policies, and promote funding.
However, the Nonprofit Chamber recognizes the limited time and capacity that the nonprofit sector has to dedicate to this work. That is why we’ve put together the tools and resources below to support your organization's policy advocacy initiatives.
If you would like to see resources focused on other advocacy topics, please let us know at policy@thenonprofitchamber.org
the Nonprofit Chamber Policy Advocacy
the Nonprofit Chamber is actively involved in advocating for policies that benefit and improve the functions of the nonprofit sector. Our research and policy priorities guide our work and we are constantly expanding and exploring new advocacy opportunities.
