We need to create realistic and achievable plans. Partner with funders to advocate our field of practice and implement strategies for increasing the quality of our work. Reluctance of technical assistance providers to be assessed. The most effective organizations involved in advocacy efforts have dedicated time, staff and resources. Nonprofits are involved at the grassroots level on issues that are local and global and often work in coalition with labor, farmers and other nonprofits.
Many nonprofits are afraid of conflict and confrontation.
Organizations want to work behind the scenes and not be identified as advocates. Funders from government and foundations seem to significantly influence the advocacy efforts of nonprofits, especially in a public policy context. Do the same with statements of values.
