Through lobbying, specific laws and regulations that will further an organization's mission can be identified and pressed for adoption. Public policies can be shaped and sustained to reflect an organization's values and priorities.

The book includes: concepts, principles, and strategies specific to board members of 501 (c)(3) charities; an eight-step process that enables boards to plan for advocacy; first-person success stories and from-the-field advice from board members across the U.S.; 3 ways to influence the executive branch of government; 4 facts about lobbying with foundation grant funds; 20 frequently asked questions about lobbying; information about the laws that govern lobbying by nonprofits; detailed worksheets that lead readers through critical processes; an appendix of lobbying tips and tactics; and encouragement to make advocacy and lobbying core to a board's active leadership. Detailed worksheets lead you through critical processes--from creating a public policy readiness profile, selecting lobbying strategies, identifying key decision makers, identifying resources, and drafting a public policy work plan. An annotated list of helpful resources includes publications, organizations, and web sites. Nonprofits can and should participate in shaping public policy through advocacy and lobbying. Board member's voices are heard when others are ignored. Whether your organization is large or small, national or local, a lobbying export or a rookie, this book will help your board get out there and advocate!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Lobbying Strategy Handbook gives students who are passionate about social change the tools they need to successfully influence law-making at the state and local level. The heart of this book is a 10-step strategic model that walks the reader through the essential elements of conducting a lobbying campaign from start to finish. The lobbying campaign model is clearly explained and illustrated by four case studies - and accompanying artifacts - that show how groups of students successfully used it to pass significant laws. The book unfolds with historical examples of pathbreaking social change legislation led by citizens and nonprofits, explains the motivations and impediments to lobbying, moves to a clear-cut explanation of the legal lobbying rules for nonprofit organizations, describes how federal state and local governments secure and spend money (and the political arguments affecting those decisions), and provides an illustrated guide to the legislative process. The 10-step model is bracketed by an explanation of how to effectively use technology in lobbying campaigns, and guidance about what to do once a bill has passed. Undergraduate, graduate students, and anyone interested in making a difference, can use the book to guide them in creating and conducting a grassroots campaign from start to finish"--

Download or read book Nonprofits in Policy Advocacy written by Sheldon Gen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy advocacy is an increasingly important function of many nonprofit organizations, as they seek broad social changes in their concerning issues. Their advocacy practices, however, have often been guided by their own past experiences, anecdotes from peer networks, and consultant advice. Most of their practices have largely escaped empirical and theoretical grounding that could better root their work in established theories of policy change. The first book of its kind, Nonprofits in Policy Advocacy bridges this gap by connecting real practices of on-the-ground policy advocates with the burgeoning academic literature in policy studies. In the process, it empirically identifies six distinct policy advocacy strategies, and their accompanying tactics, used by nonprofits. Case studies tell the stories of how advocates apply these strategies in a wide variety of issues including civil rights, criminal justice, education, energy, environment, public health, public infrastructure, and youth. This book will appeal to both practitioners and academicians, as each gains insights into the other’s views of policy change and the actions that produce it.
