Advocacy and Community Together (ACT)
ACT (Advocacy & Community Together) is a coalition of nonprofit organizations dedicated to nonpartisan advocacy, community power-building, and mobilization. We know that nonprofits are not only allowed to engage in nonpartisan issue advocacy–they must in order to protect the sector and the issues we care about.
In today’s challenging environment, policy changes and funding concerns highlight the need for collective action. ACT provides accurate, respectful, and trusted resources to help nonprofits strengthen their advocacy while continuing to serve their communities.
