Advocacy can take many forms. In simple terms, it can mean making the case for your cause or mission. But it can be any one of a number of things, from research and public education to lobbying elected officials and voter engagement. It can be a powerful tool when serving underrepresented communities and can be done well and in compliance with IRS regulations.

For any agency interested in engaging in advocacy to support and advance their mission, we suggest the following resources:

• Alliance for Justice is a national association of environmental, civil mental health, women’s, children’s and consumer advocacy organizations working to advance justice for all Americans. Offers free resources and information on how nonprofits can lobby.

Their staff attorneys conduct workshops and trainings around the country and one-on-one technical assistance by phone and email. Their coaching helps nonprofit leaders become stronger advocates for their missions and empowers them to speak up.
