    Nonprofit Advocacy Primer 

    As leaders of nonprofit organizations and foundations, we know how public policy can impact the people we serve and communities where we work. We know what is needed at the very basic, grassroots level. The legislative process is complex, but no matter what level of advocacy or lobbying your nonprofit wants to engage in, this primer will give you the basic tools to get started. 

    In this primer, you will learn about the budget process, the lawmaking process, the difference between lobbying and advocacy, nonpartisan civic engagement, and how to use the media and social media to amplify your message.
