Legislative memos are an important way for nonprofits to provide analysis and recommendations to policymakers and other stakeholders. In addition, these memos are an effective way to condense complicated legislation into a summary for those learning about it for the first time.
Hearing Testimony Template and Sample
New legislation always has the potential to affect the nonprofit sector and its subsectors. Nonprofits are experts in their fields and testifying at hearings is an important method of offering that expertise to affect pending legislation. This template was designed to provide guidance on the basics around creating effective testimony.
Social Media Action Toolkit Template
Social media has become a necessary part of nonprofit advocacy and is now a component of any campaign. Nonprofit New York created this social media action toolkit for nonprofit organizations to use and customize for their own campaigns. We hope it helps you support your mission and advocacy!
