- Advocacy helps your nonprofit meet its mission.
- Advocacy helps your nonprofit survive and thrive.
- Nonprofit advocacy helps your community solve problems.
- Nonprofit advocacy helps your community avoid problems.
- Nonprofit advocacy helps give citizens a voice.
- Advocacy helps strengthen communities.
- Advocacy helps public policy makers who need – and often want – citizen input.
