As witnessed over the past few months, communities must work together to create even greater communities. In their article, “Why Should Your Nonprofit Advocate”, he National Council of Nonprofits assures us that:

  • 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.
