Nonprofit organizations play a critical role in shaping policy outcomes that meet the needs of the communities they serve. And while 501(c)(3)s must play a nonpartisan role in the upcoming elections, they are particularly important advocates on policy issues after the dust settles in November. The time is now to prepare for whatever leadership changes occur in the next election at the local, state and federal level to push for positive policy change. This session gives new and seasoned advocates the lay of the legal landscape on what 501(c)(3)s can do as policy advocates plus tips and best practices to prepare for what’s next.
