This webinar is designed for nonprofit staff and board leaders who want to know how to make an impact through the lawmaking process but don’t know what’s possible. Lesson # 1: It is 100% legal for 501 (c) (3) organizations to lobby!

Nonprofits are in a continuous struggle to make life better for the people and communities they serve. Yet less than 3% of all charities actively lobby for their organization and the causes they want to address. This Webinar – designed both for folks who are new to the idea of lobbying and those who want to learn new strategies – will provide a simple, low-cost roadmap for achieving success in the legislative process.

· How the lawmaking process works!

· How to frame your issue effectively!
· Strategies for identifying and involving diverse stakeholders in your campaign!
