Actions to influence or shape policy can be described as advocacy, lobbying or
grassroots activities Providing a policy maker with factual, nonpartisan
information on an issue, or general sharing of information with the public
without asking them to recommend that their legislator vote in a certain way, is
not considered lobbying. Nonprofit organizations need to follow specific
guidelines as defined in the U.S. tax code. Both lobbying and grassroots
activities are legal strategies utilized by for profit and nonprofit
organizations to support or change policy. |
