Nonprofits have immense knowledge and experience on various issues, and should share that knowledge to inform advocacy and policy. 3% or less of nonprofits engage in legislative advocacy, but we are legally allowed to do so. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the foundations of nonprofit advocacy for organizations interested in started to
do dedicated advocacy or building their existing advocacy work. The target audience is nonprofits of all types and sizes without or with new advocacy programs.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn theories and principles of community organizing and public advocacy
- Understand commonly used practices including base building, coalition building, issue-identification, and campaign development, and
- Identify resources for ongoing support to continue building dedicated advocacy work within their organizations.
This workshop will be presented by Chai Jindasurat of Nonprofit New York.
