What We’ve Learned During the Pandemic and What It Means for the Future of Nonprofit Advocacy

About This Webinar

As Congress scrambled to pass COVID-related legislation in the early days of the pandemic, nonprofits had to fight to get included into every major relief program. And have had to continue advocating for corrections and improvements ever since so that nonprofits have the resources to meet the increased demands and sustain operations. This session will identify the many obstacles overcome, lessons learned, and innovations developed to enable nonprofits to advance their missions through advocacy.
