Advocacy is Part of Your Mission
Most nonprofits were created to address gaps, inequities, and challenges rooted in public policy — and advocacy is one of the most powerful tools available to create lasting change. At a time when trust in public institutions is at an all-time low and communities are looking for leadership, nonprofit voices matter more than ever.
Join the York County Nonprofit Collaborative’s Policy & Advocacy Workgroup and Sarah Speed Gabel, Board Member, Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO), for an informative webinar focused on practical strategies to effectively engage local, state, and federal policymakers in mission-driven advocacy. You’ll gain greater clarity about what nonprofits are allowed to do, understand key steps for engaging decision-makers, and leave better prepared to help influence the policies that shape your community.
Topics to include:
- Advocacy vs. Lobbying
- What 501 (c)(3)s CAN do
- Advocacy Program Structure – Getting Started
- Lobbying Basics
- Making Your Case for Elected Officials
