LinkedIn asked us how non profits can navigate the political landscape. This is our thought: Focus on mission-related advocacy: Nonprofits can engage in advocacy that is directly related to their mission and the issues they are working to address. By aligning their advocacy efforts with their charitable purpose, nonprofits can make a compelling case for the importance of their work and its impact on the community. #nonprofit #community #advocacy

Advocacy is so much more than changing policy. It’s also a powerful nonprofit brand builder attracting new supporters, and a dynamic way to deepen relationships with volunteers, donors, and clients. https://bit.ly/49jGYfd #imissioninstitute #advocacy #nonprofitadvocacy #nonprofits

Just yesterday, we posted a blog entry about the ability for non-profit organizations participate in political discourse.

In the nonprofit realm, advocacy and traditional fundraising each have unique roles. Advocacy focuses on driving social or political change through lobbying and awareness efforts, while fundraising rallies support through donations. C3 and C4 organizations operate under different guidelines, with C4s enjoying more flexibility in advocacy. Our expertise in managing both advocacy and fundraising programs, and navigating the complexities of C3 and C4 regulations, empowers our clients to reach their goals with confidence.
