Event Info: 

  Lobbying by 501 (c)(3) nonprofits is a powerful strategy for making people’s lives better and for building stronger communities. Sometimes when people hear the word lobbying, they say, “It’s illegal for nonprofits to do” or “Lobbying is for organizations with lots of money” or “Lobbying is for experts who are paid to know the process and have access.” These statements are among the many myths about lobbying. This seminar will address the myths about what charities can and cannot do in the public policy arena and equip the participants with strategies on how to engage in effective lobbying practices. Participants will also learn details about existing legislation in Harrisburg and Washington that might globally affect charities. The interactive culture of the class will allow each participant to walk away with the information they need to lobby.
