Who We Are

The National Council of Nonprofits, the nation’s largest nonprofit network, works through its member State Associations to amplify the voices of America’s local community-based nonprofit organizations, help them engage in critical policy issues affecting the sector, manage and lead more effectively, collaborate and exchange solutions, and achieve greater impact in their communities.

We are excited to announce that the Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest (CLPI), after 14 years and thousands of nonprofits trained, has generously donated its proven nonprofit advocacy training materials to the National Council of Nonprofits. In light of the many policy threats that nonprofits face at the state and local levels, it is imperative that every nonprofit build advocacy into its core operations. Building CLPI’s powerful resources into the State Associations Network will help more small and midsize nonprofits lift their voices to policymakers, who need to be informed by those whose lives will be affected by their decisions.

As the National Council explores ways to best integrate CLPI's resources throughout its network, we invite nonprofit leaders to share your insights, ideas, and inspiration about ways to maximize the effectiveness of nonprofit advocacy and lobbying. If your organization isn’t already a member of its State Association, learn more about the benefits of membership and find your State Association now.
