We help move the needle on critical sector and community needs. Through our policy work, we:

• Provide convening opportunities for nonprofits to discuss, collaborate, and take action on important issues
• Emphasize the purpose and importance of our nonprofit tax exempt status at federal, state, and local levels
• Help public officials understand the value of the nonprofit sector
• Act as the voice of the sector to our partners in government, the corporate sector, and the media
• Work to improve contractual relationships between government and nonprofit service providers
• Encourage nonprofits to advocate for themselves and their constituents and understand their legal and ethical compliance requirements
• Support charitable giving incentives that encourage support to the sector
• Support policies that seek input from nonprofits, help build their capacity, and encourage volunteerism
• Support regulations that protect the public interest and are fair to nonprofits
