The Fund For Santa Barbara – Nonprofit Advocacy & Lobbying 101

Ballot measure advocacy by nonprofits isn’t just legal – it’s important, powerful, and fundamental to democracy. With policy being decided at the ballot box in California, it’s important for nonprofits to be part of the conversation. This training will help nonprofits understand what they can do to advocate around ballot measures and will also help them grasp ballot measure reporting requirements.
(c)(3)s play an important role in educating and engaging the public on policy issues and actions taken by elected officials on the local, state, and national levels. After this workshop participants will have a clear understanding of how to maximize advocacy, the kinds of advocacy activities 501(c)(3)s can engage in, and when a communication is considered lobbying.

All participants will be required to provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination  upon entry and masks usage will be required indoors.
