A nonprofit's legislative advocacy is a critical aspect of creating thriving communities for those they serve. Today's political environment may make some nonprofits reluctant to engage in cause-based lobbying. Other nonprofits may need clarification on which advocacy activities are allowable and which they must avoid.
